According to Forbes:

States whose debt liability per capita is worse than California’s: Rhode Island, Illinois, Washington, Delaware, New York, New Jersey, Hawaii,Massachusetts, Connecticut (the last 4 states listed have more than 2X the per capita debt as CA)

States whose pension liability per capita is worse than California’s: Minnesota, Wyoming, New Mexico, Hawaii, Colorado, Wisconsin, New Jersey, Illinois, Connecticut, Alaska, Ohio, Rhode Island (the last 4 being 35%-55% greater than CA)

States whose Gross State Product ($Bil) per capita Gross State Product is less than California: All of them.

If you want more ranting goodness - you may want to access the Forbes data to sort the states by pension debt, general debt and per capital GSP (California’s GSP is about 15%)It will give you more states to hate unless you really just have a thing for California.

Thanks for the info. A co-worker and I were having this conversation just yesterday, about which states owes more than CA.
