In life you sometimes have to step aside and let a hard headed person make the mistake. Otherwise you are wasting energy and time. Let CA experiment with the green economy and uncontrolled spending. Like NJ and MI their people will sooner or later realize that tax and spending into debt will not work. This election cycle two blue states just went red, NJ and MI. NY, CA and MA have serious deficits, but it has not gotten bad enough for the majority to change to GOP. Give them time, and the GOP in Congress should not bail them out when the SHTF for those states.
California is in the hole to the tune of 100 Billion plus.
