Nope. The citizens are to blame. We have a representative democracy. If those dipsticks in Stockton want to fix this, they need to quit electing free-spending Democrats.
Everybody likes the Democrat’s free pony rides until somebody has to pay for the feed and clean up the horse crap.
I agree.. the problem also lies in the fact that this 40 to 43% voting block of gov workers, including state, and local, is very much inclined to vote.
can you just imagine if the dems in the federal gov had their way and had over 50% of the general population working for the state in one or another?
good lord it would be all over... which I kind of think it is anyway..
