You should be able to short states just like you do other stocks.

Shorting California would be awesome.

We already have the lowest bond rating of any State.

We're terminating teachers, cutting off disablity payments, turning loose 1/3 of our prison inmates, and closing down state offices a couple of time per month. And the Repugs keep crying: "You have to cut out more pork!"

Ignore the props instead of the Constitution. Oh yeah, and we're transferring funds out of specialized funds -- in violation of the Constitution -- and moving them to the General Fund.
