California, a failed state

[Ollie]

I read this article twice. Nowhere did I see where they stated the reason for the economic calapse. I didn't see any mention of the social programs that cost the state billions every year. Nowhere did I see any mention of the cost of their santuary state status for illegals and the billions it costs to allow them to stay (medical, housing, schools etc). But at least they are admitting it is a failed state.

I made it a few paragraphs into that and gave up, just up to the section with the teachers on the hunger strike. Maybe the teachers should be protesting that 2/3's of their classes are filled with children of illegals that pay no income or property taxes that fund the schools. But nope, the Country's children are entrusted to the minions of brainless and indoctrinated left.

How is it so hard for the public to understand that the bankrupt states are also the most liberal states, Even though California has a republican governor it ranks right with Massachusetts as one of the most liberal. What ever happened to good old common sense? There just isn't any pie in the sky.

Common Sense isn't so common anymore

You hit the nail on the head brother....common sense doesn't exist anymore though.

Don't be fooled by Arnie as a republican. He's a republican in name only, remember, he is married to a Kennedy.

Soon to be "The United States of America-a failed nation" unless something changes our direction.

As Cal goes so does??

The author has Van Jones as spreading some new kindof magical ideas that will transform California and once again be at the cutting edge of ideas and legislation. He says nothing about what just happened to him and his czar job. Damn, I wish these journalists would wake up!

If they follow anything this guy rants about it surely will be the end of California. I cant believe that they would even allow this pos anywhere near Sacramento. No way, no how Vanfreak.

I wonder if the outflow back to Mexico is as large as it is to the the rest of the country. We sure have enough California people trying to move here. It is like rats leaving a sinking ship. The sad thing is that it will have to get much worse before they have the will to cut enough of the socialist and environmental programs to allow them to survive fiscally.

No the real sad part is, the people leaving california are going to expect the exact same social programs everywhere they go and will demand it soon enough.
That is how liberalism is spread.
It's like a cancer.
