There are a lot of conservatives, like me, in CA. We just are outnumbered by ignorance and malice.
The only real solution will be bankruptcy driven. They state and cities are in fact bankrupt now. They don’t have enough money for current obligations and especially not enough money for future obligations.
Tax revenues are sinking faster than the forecasts they use for the budget. Unemployment is rising at an alarming rate.
They have at least a 25% deficit without the retirement obligations. There is no solution if they don’t disenfranchise the illegals and their offspring.
My guess is that they are waiting for things to get so bad that they must insist that the USG step in. We need to be prepared to fight that.
