Kalif's problems are simple. Confiscatory taxes and over-burdensome regulation.

Eliminate the state income tax and watch CA's economy mushroom! If FL & TX can operate without a state income tax there is absolutely no reason why CA can't!

they need an extension of the federal research and development tax credit, more federal spending on research and more federal funds for science and math education.

Yeah, like the research choices of federal bureaucrats create new business. Right!

to be replaced by new technologies and industries

What new technologies and industries?

Just what is California doing to enable new technologies and industries as compared to what it does to discourage them?
