Sort of wordy. CA is a drunk, addicted to unionized public employees and their outsize pensions; regulatory regimes within regulatory agencies gone thoroughly amok, and uncontrollable spending on all manner of benefits for illegals. It’s a damn shame, but the idea that it can be reversed before the state turns into an utter hellhole is patently absurd delusion. The voting districting has been gerrymandered into a morass of self-immolation that very obviously has to hit bottom before it reverses. Having lived in CA for 40 years, I expect to be leaving within 40 days.
The GOP may not win the WH, or the Senate ( though I think we will) but the House will stay GOP..and become ever more conservative, for the rest of the decade. California MUST go bankrupt....there is no way to resolve the debt crisis without tossing out the civil service labor and pension contracts..as has already happened in a few smaller cities..the state can’t get out from under otherwise. And with a conservative GOP controlling the House, California can forget about ANY bailout..which is all that the Dems in Sacramento can now hope for..
