E' la canzone, non te la ricordi?
dal Financial Times:
California’s economy, which would be the eighth biggest in the world if the state was a separate country, is teetering on the brink of a financial crisis intensified by the credit crunch.
California is weeks away from running out of money. In a letter to Hank Paulson, the US Treasury secretary, Arnold Schwarzenegger, California’s governor, last week admitted an immediate $7bn (€5bn, £4bn) was needed to pay for essential public services, such as police and fire-fighters.
California would normally generate interim funding by issuing “revenue anticipation notes” in the short term credit markets to tide it over until tax revenues arrive later in its financial year. But the door to the credit markets is firmly closed.
