RE: “The problem is, well for us in the other 49, we’ll be picking up California’s tab.”

I’m in CA; many here on FR live in CA — some plan to leave; if I had a business or young family I’d leave. Instead I stay and fight, and go Galt to the extent possible.

I sincerely hope other states do NOT get stuck with CA’s bills — racked up because ‘voters’ are overwhelmingly leftwing nutjobs, govt. workers, union members, immigrants dragged into voting ‘blue’ with promises of more and more freebies.

This has been a LONG time coming and old Jerry Brown shares a good part of the blame for it though certainly not all. CA has been beckoning ‘takers’ of all types for decades now via its various policies — especially cheap prices for college for out of staters. Not good!

California is like a roach hotel; easy to get in but hard to get out. Real estate is the trap. I remember the sticker shock of buying a house here in California and thinking that the prices were way over priced in comparison to the rest of the country. I was reassured by the real estate agent that it was a good investment and that California Real Estate would continue to appreciate 10% per year. I realize now that I am at the bottom of the pyramid of a huge ponzi scheme and that it will be hard to unload my house without a huge loss.

There is no fighting what is happening here in California. The country was invaded by Mexico, ransacked and pillaged without one shot every being fired. I went to the mall and realized that I was the only Caucasian there among several hundred people . That doesn't make Caucasians a minority, they are practically extinct in large areas of California. The only solution is austerity measures to systematically stop all welfare on a five year timetable. It is better to wean people off now than to have our monetary system suddenly collapse and have millions in the street rioting and dying.
