California vs Arizona

Governor of a state jogging with his dog along a trail.

Coyote jumps out and starts to attack dog.    

California Solution:
        #1. Governor starts to intervene and then realizes he should stop; the coyote is doing what is natural.
        #2. Call animal control. Animal control captures coyote and spends $200 testing it for diseases and $500
relocating it.
        #3. Call Veterinarian who usually collects a dead dog and then spends $200 testing it for diseases.
        #4. Governor goes to hospital and spends $3500 getting checked for diseases from the coyote and then      
        getting minor bite wound bandaged.
        #5. Running trail gets shut down for 6 months while wildlife services conduct a $100,000 survey to   
        make sure the area is clear of other dangerous animals.
        #6. Governor spends $50,000 and starts a coyote awareness program for people who live in the area.

      #7. State legislature spends $2 million investigating how better to handle rabies and how possibly to
        eradicate it.
        #8. Governor's security agent fired for not stopping the attack and letting the Governor try to       
        intervene on his own.
        #9. Cost $75,000 to train new security agent.
        #10. PETA protests the relocation of the coyote and ties up the Legislative committee on Fish and Game for a minimum of one afternoon.

Arizona Solution:
        #1. Governor spends $0.30 on a .38 Special +P revolver round and stops the attack on his dog by shooting the coyote. He and the dog then continue jogging.    
Test Question:

Why is California broke?
