Reminds of the afternoon I went out and bought a Ferrari because I had bought a lotto ticket earlier that day.

Eloquently put. I don't know of any responsible finance plan that counts on money they might of might not have.

Sounds like false accounting to me. Or just what politicians do. Wankers, the lot of them.

Thus the reason the US has so many broke states.
The whole countries broke.

Nope. Not the whole country. My state is better than ever.[^]
Texas is not broke, either; it has a balanced budget policy. We are free to elect brutally incompetent and corrupt politicians to major offices without fear of them going over budget, a rare privilege that we take advantage of all the time. In fact, our last two governors, George W. Bush and Rick Perry, managed to blunder their way through a few terms without screwing things up too bad. It's too bad that so many people in the rest of the country felt their governorship qualified them for any sort of national office, though.

Really? I thought Texas was having a bunch of problems (like this[^]). I don't want to get into a political debate, because that doesn't seem to be the issue. I think the issue is that no one wants to make the hard choices because that won't get them elected. My family can't spend more than it makes...well, I can but the consequences aren't good - foreclosure, etc. The government never feels that way. There seem to be no consequences to spending more than we "make" (from taxes). Well, now everyone is going to feel it. It will hit some states before it hits others but the end result will be the same. Much tougher cuts now because of mistakes in the past.

Hmm. I have to look into that. Constitutionally, they are not allowed to have a budget deficit, though they occasionally do whacky accounting to move this year's expenses into next year. According to the source, there was no deficit in 2009, but in 2010 it popped up. Guess I have to figure out whose idea it was and give them the axe.

It's all because the place is run by idiots who went there to try to become movie stars, but didn't make it. If there were more farmers, particularly chicken farmers, it would not be a problem.

Idiots would not get the timing right to have four major global economies on the brink of collapse at the same time. LIBOR wasn't something that a random retard did; Selling Brittain's gold (now-famous-Browns Bottom) is not an act of an idiot. Preventing Greece from fixing it's economy this year, is not something an idiot would do. The initial Facebook-valuation was not an idiocy, and using the possible future profits of that stock as a State to keep your budget in order is not something an idiot would do - it's the hand of a fraudster. One who knows that he is bankrupt is quickly scraping every buck in the vicinity to put the day of reckoning of just a little bit longer.. If it were mere idiots, then Nigel Farage's voice would have been heard more widely. Ron Paul would have been heard more widely. Better yet, people in the streets might be talking about the plans of Hugo Salinas Price! No, it takes real effort to get things into the state they are now in.

But they forgot to copy the most important part: "Oh, it didn't go as planned... Never mind, we just raise the tax for everyone else so we get the money in.".
I think you'll find they actually did follow the most important part: "We have shared currency, so we can just issue more bonds and someone else will cover things if we screw up too badly". Though I hesitate to use the word copy because I think US states have been doing this for longer than Eurozone countries.
