In particular, the expected deep cuts in education spending could thin the state's human capital, potentially forcing California companies to look elsewhere for skilled workers as well as new plants or even headquarters.

Typical liberals. They spend more $ per capita on education than they ever have yet more students drop out or are barely literate when they graduate. Perhaps that curriculum might have something to do with it? Why not replace "Harvey Milk Day" with "Math Day" and actually teach the students something useful for a change?

California must serve the Nation by providing a real life example of the consequences of ignoring the ‘seven fat years, seven lean years’ lesson. So a government is expected to spend more when the larger economy is suffering? Too bad they spend everything they had and more on non-critical (and largely politically correct) nonsense during the great Reagan period of wealth creation.
