캘리포니아 주 절대 절명의 파산 위기

 

Drastic measures in the state of California. No money, huge cuts, the state’s going to have to sell off merchandise to make money. This could happen where you live. From NBC news world headquarters in New York. Good evening, California is our biggest state in terms of population and it long ago ran out of money. They’ve got nothing to pay the vendors행상인 they owe and now they have struck a deal for more cuts and these are going to hurt. They’re going to allow off shore drilling for the money it will bring in. the LA Times reports tens of thousands of seniors and children would loose access to health care. Prisoners will spend less time in prison. And the governor is going to sell cars and furniture and office supplies and autograph자필원고 some of it he says to raise more money. It’s an unbelievable turn of events. Miguel Almaguer is live for us in Los Angeles tonight to start us off. Miguel? Good evening.

 

A done deal. That’s what California’s top legislators say about the state budget. “It was like a suspense movie.” It played out more like a long drama, complete with midnight negotiations and an ending long overdue. Facing a $26 billion budget deficit, California was so broke, it began issuing `IOUs`(I Owe You). There was also worry the state would go insolvent파산자 지불 불능 자. The plan to pull California out of the red빚에서 벗어나 includes cuts across the board. $ 1.3 billion from the health care, more than half a billion from welfare, another 1.2 billion from corrections which could allow inmates out early.

 

The biggest cuts come from education, affecting students from college to kindergarten. And it's not just the young, but also the old. Counties and cities aren't happy, either. San Diego balanced its budget, but the state money it was counting on, won't be coming. And to generate cash, the expansion of oil drilling near Santa Barbara, a move not seen off the Golden State's scenic coast in 40 years. And, Brian, while the state may have a budget deal, some local cities and counties say they may sue California to get their earmarked지정된 money back. Miguel Almaguer in Los Angeles starting us off tonight. Miguel, thanks.

 

There has been a collision in the solar system. A big one. Scientists say something hit the planet Jupiter about a day or two ago, whatever it was, it left a hole in Jupiter’s atmosphere about the size of planet earth which gives you an idea how big Jupiter is. Hole was first spotted Monday morning by an amateur astronomer in Australia who brought it to the attention of the folks at NASA. Not sure what anyone can do about it.
