I believe California is also handing out I.O.U.'s in lieu of salary to some state employees.

She should underpay her Calif tax for 2009 by the amount of the IOU and send back the IOU next April, if it hasn't been cashed. (It probably will be by then)

Things are bad allright and likely will get worse, as talking heads predict 4-5 years before an economic turn-around. Other than reduced tax income, the states are suffering the consequences of forever basing next year's budget on last year's bloated budget. Since the 70's the states have increased their workforce by 250-300%, a huge part of the budget. Most of the additional employees over that period of time are somehow occupied in securing us, regulating us, overseeing us, watching us, taxing us, counting us, reviewing us, keeping track of us, double checking us, investigating us, monitoring us, searching for us, communicating with us, screening us, automating us, testing us, sending stuff to us, relieving us of our property and wealth, assessing us, and providing an endless array of new and additional services, whether we want them or not. Yada, Yada, Yada. In times like this, they need to downsize by at least 50%, cut their payroll instead of ours, and give US all a break!

Also, people are moving into neighboring homes that have been foreclosed on. Not a pretty picture.
-------------------------------------
Just to clarify, these homes are not being purchased, they are being lived in by "homesteaders." It is so prevalent that the police can even begin to evict the homesteaders.
