What a bunch of maroons running this state and nation into the abyss.
What happened to all those “jobs ‘americans’ don’t want to do”?
Hold on to your hats. That unemployment rate’ll go a lot higher when Ahnuld’s new sales tax increases kick in on April 1st.
California is to *BUSY* to worry about the economy when they have such important matter on thier plate like when can:
Jimmy Joe and Paul get married?
We'll have to see what happens when all of us who are leaving actually get out of town.
hell, I could turn this mess around in four years...
eliminate the state income tax which would bring industry here from not only around the USA but the world, offshore drilling, co-generation nuclear power plants that would not only generate all the electricity we could ever need but enough water to irrigate the entire friggin’ state...
jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs...and every Californian would receive an annual royalty check from the oil & gas leases

Don’t worry, California is fixing the problem. They are raising taxes on everything they can find. Doesn’t make any difference if people can’t afford it. Somebody has to pay for all the illegals.
Well I hope Ahnold and the democratically led state legislature is happy! Californians need to be so outraged that in the next election when they see a dem and I meaning incumbent next to their name that they vote in unison against em all!
and as if bad isn’t enough , The gUb is pushing a spending cap initiative, Prop 1A, that is a joke.
If it passes, the temporary tax hikes will expire in 2013 supposedly.
If it fails , they expire in 2011.
as if any act of voters short of tossing the bums out will rein in spending..
No shiite...tell me something we all don’t already know.
And I didn’t say we had the most oil, I “said” CA is the richest state in the Union. Who knows how much oil & gas is offshore and onshore.
I bet it’s higher than that.
I had a critical job in the aerospace realm for 20 years. We have contracts. I’ve either made them smile or made them mad. Physics is physics. Facts are facts. I can work in Texas but I sort of like where I am even though everybody knows me in this skill across this industry wants me because nobody knows uW engineering anymore.

The decision to move was a very difficult one. I was born and raised in So Cal and have deep roots there. But I won’t stay where I am not wanted and California has made it crystal clear that it doesn’t want me and it does want its illegals. It doesn’t want you, either, if you work hard and make a decent living.
“An industrious person might find a cottage industry in driving back empty U-Hauls to CA.”
Unfortunately, many of those leaving CA are infesting other states bringing their libtard “ideas” with them, complicating the lives of the natives.
If you’ve any business in Calif. you’d be stupid not to go to another state and practice your trade.
People and businesses leaving California will make Moses’s Exodus look like a family vacation.
Yeaaaaaaaaaaa...that’s what we need to do...take advice from someone in Illinois! LMAO
We gave America Ronald Reagan and IL gave us...Hussien Obama...ya know, if you’re half-ass smart, you might wanna be reeeeeeeeeeel quiet for the next four years!
“It’s time for Tom McClintock to get out of the race?”
WTF are you talking about? what “race?”
FYI, maybe you hadn’t heard but McClintock is a U.S. Congressman now...
“unite behind FISCAL CONSERVATIVE Arnold?”
please tell us all that you’re J/K...
