Politically, California is everything liberals want America to become

1. California has the nation’s highest unemployment


2. California has one-third of all welfare recipients


3. California has the nation’s highest poverty rate
Despite all the welfare spending,

4. California has the nation’s highest taxes

5. California has the nation’s third highest income inequality
California’s already high taxes have failed to adequately redistribute income

6. California’s teachers are among the nation’s highest paid while its students are among the least educated

7. California has the nation’s highest energy prices

8. California’s budget isn’t balanced
Credit Krugman for noting that California’s budget is only a “projected” one

9. California is deep in debt
Even if California’s current budget does produce a tiny surplus this year, the state is still deeply in debt. According to the state’s own auditor, California has a negative net worth of $127 billion,

Other than that, California’s comeback is going great.

Tuesday 9 April 2013 / Hour 1, Block C: . Victor Davis Hanson, Hoover, in re: Gov Brown called VDH to say that "California's problems are solved, VDH doesn't understand." [Listen to JBS show podcast to hear a litany of what's really occurring in California, and it is not all encouraging.] Elites reserve millions of acres for non-use for their own benefit.

What is amazing is how quickly it happened.
I remember visiting Cali in the early 70s and what an amazing place it was.

Cali has always been the “lead dog” for America as a whole.
That’s why I’m not very confident in our future.

Well those of us that are stuck here are screwed! The morons keep voting in a democrap majority and more and more of the democrat politicians only care about what they can take from the producers (who they are driving out of the state along with business) and give it to the illegal(yes I call them what they are)aliens and indolent.

The people of California, the land of fruits and nuts, have followed their liberal pied pipers down into the cave of ruin.

Born here in 1955, I don’t see it ever getting better.

"Born here in 1955, I don’t see it ever getting better."

That's why I left Michigan as soon as I could and moved to Texas. Most of the rural people in Michigan were the salt of the earth, but the major metro areas and union thugs drug the state into the abyss. So much industry and natural resources down the tubes.

Texas has it's issues, but it's the best positioned state to survive the coming SHTF...
