California's Demise is Looming... Laughing out loud...
Folks, I trash the leadership in my state, the absolutely terrible job our governor and legislators do. Even local municipality leadership sucks. This being true, our state so badly damaged by what these louts have done to it, it is a testimony to the State of California's toughness that it can withstand the onslaught of Leftist Marxist Liberal Democrat Leadership and not be destroyed. In spite of this leadership, not because of it, California thrives. It's wounded, but it is not dead. Like the Grizley bear on it's flag, you may wound it, but that will only make it angry and more resolved. California is one tough state.
California has the sixth largest GDP (reported as GSP at link) in the world. It's GDP is 61% higher than the next closest state. LINK Globally it's ecnomy is only eclipsed by the United States, China, Japan, Germany, and Great Britain. LINK
Think it's headed into the tank? Check this out. Look down at the bottom of this page and view what it's GDP was in the 2002 to 2006 range. LINK 2002 > $1.629 trillion. 2014 > $2.359 trillion 2016 > $2.565 Trillion LINK
I compare the GDP of California to the level of manufacturing we have in the United States today. Yes, both still exist, but imagine what they could be with sound leadership.
California unleashed, would astound people. It already is an amazing place, despite it's problems.
Will California Ever Thrive Again? Laughing out loud...
