The Deranged Democrats went out of their way to attack the middle class in California because that middle class was predominantly white.

Now they have the world they want: a fabulously wealthy elite, and a peon class that does squat labor for the elite.

Just like Mexico.

Surprising article from the LA Times. Notice they don’t attribute it to Obama and his policies.

“The growth, though, belies a troubling imbalance.”

Article ignores the fact that CA’s population has grown significantly, due to immigration and low-income group fertility. Merely recovering to the number of “jobs” that existed 6 or 7 years means very little, without even considering declining job quality. Does the LA Times mention California’s per capita GDP in constant dollars, now versus then?

Valerie Colter landed a $1,000-a-week job, right out of college in 2005, as an executive assistant to a sitcom producer. She was laid off two years later. She has struggled since then to make half as much. She did a stint as a transcriber for a reality show company, working overtime to bring home $525 a week. She earned $250 every other week as an Ikea cashier; $500 a week as a postproduction assistant; $600 a week organizing a footage library.

"They can't afford to pay me what I'm worth; they can't even match the pay at my last job," she said. "It makes me sad. I always thought that, in 10 years, I was going to be awesome. Now here I am, just trying to survive."

I wonder if Valerie is able to connect the dots between her losing a good job and ending up in a string of dead end jobs and the Obama/Dem policies of the last 5 years of more taxes, more regulation, more entitlements, more mandates.
