Greece versus California bailouts

Greece represents about 6% of the European GDP. California represents
about 13% of US GDP. The Europeans look like they are bailing out
Greece as the southern European countries are bringing down the value
of the euro. But what is the US Government doing about California,
New York, Illinois, Arizona and Virginia? We need to start now on
state bankruptcy and conservatorship laws that allow an orderly
process to run these governments once they are insolvent. If we wait
until the last minute it will be a poorly thought out bailout.
