I have these thoughts on my mind, but someone stole my thunder on that site, but the analysis on what ails California applies to my state of NY as well.
1) Too many illegal immigrants,
2) Hostile business climate,
3) Overbearing ‘liberal’ government with burdensome
regulations,
4) Ridiculous coddling of government bureaucrats
(inflated salaries and pensions),
5) Gargantuan public school bureaucracies that
siphon away from the ‘classroom’ and to ‘administrators’.
6) Highest tax burden in the nation.
Solve these problems and you save California.
How to solve them you ask ?
1) Illegal Aliens:
ENFORCE THE LAWS OF OUR COUNTRY !!!
Pass a law like Arizona’s SB1070 that allows
police to question people about their
immigration status (IF they are detained for
some other lawful reason).
Problems : 2 – 6 These are tougher. The ONLY way to change
the regulatory/business/tax climate is to drain
the cesspool in Sacramento and start over ( this applies to Albany in NY State also).
The people of Kalifornia/Commiefornia will have
to hold a constitutional convention to wipe the
slate clean and start over, preferably as part
of a state government default that will allow
the state to get out of it’s ridiculously
inflated state employee pension obligations.
Come November, if we still see OLD guys like Jerry Brown and Barbara Boxer in charge ( the same people who helped get Kalifornia in the mess it’s in in the first place), we have to conclude that California is HOPELESS and the people there just want to continue on the road to 3rd world hell.
This is the major problem. The people keep voting the train wrecks that are moonbeam and boxer.
Every point you make is a winner. My top two would illegals and the government pensions.
