Excuse me, but did not our glorious elite's in both major parties tell us that massive immigration is essential to economic prosperity?

Thank God Almighty those native born Californians are fleeing the state and being replaced by all those wonderfully economically productive immigrants.

Great work Globalists!

Funny, but all too real.

If we can’t immigrate our way to prosperity and we can’t tax our way to prosperity, maybe we can borrow our way to prosperity. WashingtonDC elitists just don’t understand economics or don’t care.

Don’t worry. Liberals are going to fix the California economy by massive tax raises.

You see, liberals have figured out that taxes should be Pavlovian; the more people are taxed, the more they get used to being taxed; and then ultimately the more they will start to like being taxed. Ultimately they will begin to drool uncontrollably before every April 15 in anticipation of being able to pay more taxes.

The only other thing California liberals have to do is frame their presentation in the same “Work will set you free” terms as their fellow socialists - the National Socialist German Workers’ Party - and the economy will really begin to take off.

They sure did, along with cheap imports from China.

BTW, they still won’t admit their cheap labor was a net drain on ALL THE REST OF US! Or they just don’t care, which is why they can so easily exploit vulnerable 3rd worlders, not to mention their own country.

Wonder who take home more, the unemployed or the illegal alien welfare recipient?

It’s actually worse than 10.1% because it does not include most of the unemployed illegal aliens, which California welcomed in by the millions.

I want to hear again from the California Chamber of Commerce, and Arnold, and McCain and Rove and all the Democrats save Heath Shuler just how these illegal aliens improve our economy.

California is getting what it deserves. The social services paid to illegal aliens are a considerable part of its debt. The foreclosures of which California ranks on top are mostly the liar loans to illegals. The unemployment for Americans is due to their displacement by illegals.

And yet they voted for Democrats and RINO Arnold and Pelosi, Feinstein and Boxer and the Mexico-first clown mayor of Los Angeles.

Screw ‘em. They got themselves here.

Good of you to post this point. I was wondering when someone would make the counter point to Thomas Friedman's idiotic and adolescent diatribe about massive Indian and Chinese immigration to "save" the American economy.

The experiment was already tried. It's called California.

The empirical result is plain to see:

- Unemployment as high as Michigan

- Massive backside welfare problems exacerbated by immigrant demands, since they are by far the largest users

There are 138,000 LEGAL immigrants to the US every month and probably an equal number of illegals. That means that there needs to be over 3 million new jobs created every year just to keep up with immigration.

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger said the state's unemployment report was a "sobering reminder that there is nothing more important than getting California's economy back on track."

And nothing like a 40 billion dollar tax increase to jump start a weak economy.

Face it Arnold. The patient is dead. You killed him.

“Things are just simply worse out there than anticipated”

Anticipated by whom? Many here knew it was going to be bad with Bamo in office.

The markets hate socialism. Our markets are doing the same things as Russia’s, for the same reason.

The California unemployment rate will soon be 15% thanks totally to the state and national democrat party (and that idiot RINO Governator).

Companies and productive individuals are, as we speak, fleeing California for Red States. Companies, particularly manufacturers, have no choice if corporate existence is to survive during the Obama-created Depression and the Great Asset Confiscation by the democrat party.

It’s unfortunate that such a beautiful state with (predominantly) good people has been hijacked by economically illiterate, left-wing mental midgets. the political situation is a great example of what is happening in Washington DC. The left wing has entrenched itself into the govt framework, mostly via creating a welfare dependant class and a huge governmnet that is in constant need of more money (taxes) fromteh productive class.

Now that CA can’t get much more out of its productive class via taxes, it is going to Congress for a “bailout” - whihc means every other state’s productive class will be supporting CA’s welfare class.

Socialism (the welfare state) is a cancer that will very likely destroy this country. Let’s give a big round of applaus to FDR, LBJ, Jimmuh and now Barak.

Weakness in the housing and consumer sectors helped drive the jobless rate OF US CITIZENS up from a revised 8.7 percent in December and 6.1 percent in January 2008 and to above the national average in January of 7.6 percent, state officials said on Friday.

Economist Jon Haveman of the consulting firm Beacon Economics said he expects California's jobless rate OF US CITIZENS will climb to the mid-10 percent range and settle there for much of this year.
