The bottom line for solving California’s water problem is that there needs to be a move toward a market-oriented method for the distribution of water. Government management has been a failure.

Without civil engineering and ability to bring water from distance sources, the Roman Empire could not have existed.

Governments have few legitimate functions, providing access to clean water both for humans and crops could be considered one such function.

The drought is not the cause of the water shortage in California. The cause is from the leftest agenda that wishes to control every aspect of our lives.

The politicians and the environmentalist work hand in hand to see that no problem is ever solved. It is just one crisis (that should not go to waste) to another.

Cut the water to farms to the point they are no longer economically viable, they will shut down and our food production will (like many industries) move out of the country. That would be bad enough, but if 80% of the water usage is in fact used for agriculture, I am willing to bet that 80% of California’s wealth is also from agriculture.

Farms that no longer produce a product, will no longer produce any income that can be taxed.

How do you feel about taxing one group of people to provide low cost water to a different group?
