LOS ANGELES — After years of grueling battles over state budget deficits and spending cuts, California has a new challenge on its hands: too much money. An unexpected surplus is fueling an argument over how the state should respond to its turn of good fortune.

The amount is a matter of debate, but by any measure significant: between $1.2 billion, projected by Gov. Jerry Brown, and $4.4 billion, the estimate of the Legislature’s independent financial analyst. The surplus comes barely three years after the state was facing a deficit of close to $60 billion.

I have too much money.

 

So I spent it on Wii U games. And I still have too much money.

 

My problems are first world. My problems never die. But they should.

 

For I am drinking tea, and everything is invalid.

I don't see how something can make too much money.

Here's a thought, give it back to the taxpayers, or lower taxes on businesses and individuals so companies like Apple don't have to build factories in Austin, TX rather than Cupertino.
