Let's expand the policies that have worked so well in California to the whole country!

That seems to be the approach we are taking.

Obama is doing his best.

Jack Cashill wrote an entire book on the subject...

Schwarzenegger's a big girly man who couldn't take the pressure from his liberal hollywood buddies or from his liberal wife (whip craking sound...).

He truly is a Kennedy....but think Rose or Caroline and not JFK who was more conservative than most current republicans.

California and Massachusetts are models for what The One is trying to do to the entire country.

They say that things are tried out in California before the rest of the country. Let's see, we have a welfare state that welcomes illegal invaders, taxes the hell out of the productive people so much that they leave or stop producing, overseen by a celebrity with zero governing experience.

Yeah, I think the country's ready for that.

“What went wrong in CA?”

LIBERALISM

[Blood of Tyrants]

If it were just conservatives leaving California, I wouldn’t care, but the damned liberals leave the cesspool they created and then proceed to institute the very same damned policies that screwed up California in their new state!

It is the same with liberals everywhere. They aren’t satisfied with soiling their own nests and making the people in their circle miserable. NO! They won’t be happy until EVERYONE is equally miserable!

Medical pays Planned parenthood $500 per abortion in their state. Way to grow your tax base.

My beloved California has become a kleptocracy run by state employee’s and teachers’ unions, who pull the strings on their puppets in the legislature. In 2005, Arno tried to break their hold on the state through the initiative process. He was broken, instead. Sadly, I see no hope. I expect all business to be driven out of the state; we will become a pauper dependent on alms from the federal government.

Good article. What jumped out at me were these two paragraphs, which IMO, describes a good part of the citizenry today. Too many forget that we stand on the shoulders of those who have gone before.

In other words, the present generation enjoyed quite a head start on their lives through the work and investment of often forgotten predecessors.
and
Perhaps because have-it-all Californians live in such a rich natural landscape and inherited so much from their ancestors, they have convinced themselves that perpetual bounty is now their birthright — not something that can be lost in a generation of complacency.

Getting rid of illegal aliens, immigrants from enemy countries, sanctuary cities would go a long way towards solving California’s problems.
