California is the largest state in America in terms of population....36 million, and that's NOT counting all of the illegals.
California has the largest economy of any state.
In area, California is the third largest state,
after Alaska and Texas. Montana is 4th.
Of course California has the most people. I think most of us know that. But being the most populous is not the same as being the largest.
I just think the editorial writers are either idiots or very sloppy.
