Sandy McTyre to the rescue!

I think the Governor is missing an opportunity here by issuing IOU's to state employees. I think its time he considers issuing our own currency( which is only a small step removed from IOU's). Here's an inspiration from our neighbors to the north:

That's "money" from the Canadian Tire company. Sure, it seems funny and yes it actually is an official gimmick, but in Canada, CT dollars are serious business. The Canadian version of Ebay actually accepts Canadian Tire Money as a form of valid payment.

That's 'Sandy McTyre' right there on the front. He's not the king of Canada, he's just a cartoon character like our Ronald McDonald or heck, just like our Governor here in California. Think about it, Arnold could issue "Cali-Bucks" to state employees which the state would redeem from stores and banks throughout the state. Businesses and banks would then cash in "Cali-Bucks" with the State of California on an agreed upon exchange rate.

Remember - its not really new currency because that would cause problems with the whole "federal and state" thing, its a "loyalty program".

Come to think of it, the way things currently stand I feel better about the full faith and credit of Canadian Tire Money than I do the US Dollar.
