“SJB—it only took the libs thirty years to ruin paradise: 1979-2009.”
Well, for me it was (1976-2006)
In 1976, it was still “Reagan Country”. Paradise on earth, for a 22 year old, fresh out of college, with a high paying job in Los Angeles.
By 2006,much of Los Angeles had become a third world hell hole.
I sold out then, knowing the faux boom would bust.
I also got tired of tripping over illegal immigrants on the sidewalk ;-)
It is worse than sad...it is trajic!
At least you and I got out before it imploded.
Glad you got out in time. 2006 was when I left NJ for similar reasons.
I thought NJ would beat CA to the bankruptcy counter. If not, it will be a close second.
The new Republican governor may buy some time, but NJ cannot sustain the debt it has assumed, especially when our generation of civil servants cash in their sick days and start their pensions.
Our whole country is flirting with third world status with the present financial course we are on.
