California’s crazy one-party liberal politics is why I had to finally leave and I’m not alone
Fox News Opinion ^ | April 15,2018 | Chuck DeVore

California’s never ending housing crisis has led to a consistent domestic outmigration with a net of about 100,000 people every year leaving the state year after year, most of whom settle in Texas.

This will likely result in California losing Congressional seats for the first time in its history once the results of the 2020 census are tallied.

Further, California’s soaring unfunded pension liabilities to its all-powerful government labor unions are at least $477 billion with the annual shortfall to fund the pensions hitting about $5.4 billion a year by 2024—swamping rosy claims of a state budget surplus.

Lastly, California’s war on traditional and affordable domestic energy has resulted in among the highest energy costs in the nation, spurred on by high taxes and billions in greenhouse gas fees—fees earmarked to partially pay for a vastly oversold, over budget and years late high speed rail project that nervous voters are turning against.

California isn’t the future, rather, it’s what America’s 2016 election of Donald Trump saved the nation from becoming. It’s not a harbinger of things to come, but it will soon be an example of the fate we narrowly avoided

That ridiculous, totalitarian type of governance will spread to every place in the United States where exists a huge illegal immigrant population which subscribes to the philosophy of government from the countries from which they came. They do NOT come here for more freedom and to enjoy the values and liberty we have, but to find a way to get to the top and govern like the ones they have seen back home. They do NOT change their way of thinking upon crossing the border.

California’s population is still grieving so I’m not sure his prediction of losing representatives is going to happen anytime soon.

“liberal”??

We left liberal in the dust a long time ago.

We are full on La Raza Enviro Communist in this state.

Liberals get put in jail for being insufficiently down with the struggle. Si se puede!

I keep getting job referrals in California.
I keep telling these recruiters that California is out of the question. Jerry Brown can destroy that state without my tax dollars. Besides, I would not last long at a job there because my existence would hurt somebody’s feeeeeeliiiings.

I am in Texas, and I love my freedom in TEXAS!

“To summarize: Arnold Schwarzenegger was elected in 2003 as a populist, governed as a conservative for a year and then veered to the left to preserve his political hide, massively boosting spending and signing the Global Warming Solutions Act. Democrats then started winning elections.”

Veered? Ha.

Arnold simply quit pretending he was anything other than a liberal.

For those who don’t know, grassroots CA Republicans backed Tom McClintock for Governor, but we were crushed in the primary by the slimey GOPe machine who put all their money and resources on worthless Schwartzenegger.

And one of the local media weasels pushing hard for Arnold over McClintock was fake conservative Hugh Hewitt.

"Outmigration"?!?

Call it what it really is:

Emigration. Evacuation. Diaspora. Fleeing.

Here's more evidence of the way of thinking to which Latin Americans subscribe:

The absolutism and despotic nature of some popes have influence millions of catholics to have the same mindset. Absolute rule.

It's time that we re-named the once-Golden State with a moniker for which all sides will readily agree...

Ladies and gentlemen, may I present...

NEW VENEZUELA!

How is this tied to Latin America? Most of these were before America even figured in European history.

For a denomination to deem itself too big to fail, however, is to beg for the devil to disprove it.

that’s why I kept saying to Texas Freepers for the past 10 years to STOP advertising your state as an economic powerhouse..

The more you do this, you invite liberal jackholes who ruined their own cities and states to migrate there. keep saying you are a bunch of “racist gun loving rednecks who hate fags” and they will stay away..
