Or Uncle Sam to bail out the Golden (ha!) State? Be careful how you answer.

Because if Ca debt goes bad that’ll wreck state and muni debt for years. Borrowing costs for Mecklenburg County and the city of Charlotte would spike, probably the state of North Carolina’s as well. Weak pols would then try to hike taxes to make up the gap.

But the alternative is to nationalize Sacramento’s insane fiscal policy, which will not get it fixed — and embolden all kinds of jurisdictional basket cases — NY state, Chicago, Detroit, Robeson County — to look to Uncle Sucker.

Decisions, decisions.
