Jerry Brown’s California: Devastation, Plunder, Economic Failure
Canada Free Press ^ | 10/10/17 | Katy Grimes

Posted on 10/10/2017 5:15:52 PM PDT by Sean_Anthony

Jerry Brown is the self-anointed Savior of the Planet while his decades-long policies destroy the once-Golden State

People like me have been explaining for many years that California is an example of leftist policies to avoid, and the poster child state of what not to do unless state suicide is the goal. California has become the Greece of the United States, and is cracking up. But this crack-up isn’t funny, as I cover in my new book co-authored with Jim Lacy, ”California’s War Against Donald Trump: Who Wins? Who Loses?”

Despite the dire circumstances, the ravenous left in California continues at breakneck speed to implement so many detrimental, dangerous laws and policies, that Jack, the amoral leader in “Lord of the Flies,” would blush. Stranded on an island, this group of schoolboys degenerate into savagery. It sounds like California, doesn’t it?

3% of your highest year X years of service. Assume the last year, they sent him on all fires as commander. He racks up the hours and makes his highest salary. he’s been in 30 years and that’s 90%.

BS

Low unemployment where I live
Property values WAY up

If it’s so freaking bad why do so many people want to live here?

Now I don’t like a lot of the policies of the state government, but ignorant hyperbole like this just gives the leftists something to paint (some) conservatives as idiots with.

Will California drive off the cliff and crash? Or just devolve into 3rd world status?

There is a rather nice stretch of California along the coast and a few miles inland.

I'm fortunate enough to live there ... as are most of the Dems who pass the laws that make much of the rest of the state near unlivable.

So far our cocoon remains intact.

That's not the point. How many billions of dollars of debt has California incurred to implement its insane policies? Is it sustainable? Of course not. Wait til the dam breaks, then tell me how many people are flooding into the state.
