California’s fiscal hole is now so large that the state would have to liberate 168,000 prison inmates and permanently shutter 240 university and community college campuses to balance its budget in the fiscal year that begins July 1.
(California on 'verge of system failure', McKenna, B., June 20, 2010).
It sounds like the place is not for better education for children but the heaven for criminals. I think they could do a lot better than just releasing the criminals from prisons. At least, they should give a travel ticket to another state, so they would not commit crime in California and keep their criminal activities because of the budget problem for the police officers. Also, I wonder what happens to the students who suppose to be attending those 240 universities and colleges after July 1.
This planned limitation of higher education surely increase the gap between the rich and the poor.
