So it takes a lot to turn California around from growth to
contraction, from people moving into the state to a net exodus from
the state, from business moving into California to businesses leaving
California.
It takes some doing.
And the Left has done it.
[...]
- California’s state expenditures grew from $104 billion in 2003 to
$145 billion in 2008.
- California has the worst credit rating in the nation.
- California has the fourth highest unemployment rate in the nation,
9.3 percent -- higher even than the car manufacturing state of
Michigan.
- California has the second highest home foreclosure rate.
- California’s tax-paying middle class is leaving the state.
California’s net loss last year in state-to-state migration exceeded
every other state's. New York, another Left-run state, was second.
- Since 2000, California’s job growth rate -- which in the late 1970s
was many times higher than the national average -- has lagged behind
the national average by almost 20 percent.
- California has lost 25 percent of its industrial work force since
2001.

Gosh. Are you saying that moving a whole bunch of defense contractors
to Texas had a deleterious effect on Cali? Get out!
As afr as I'm concerned, let 'em leave. We grow food and make TV real
well. SF has the whole hig-tech thing. We got mountains. Screw the
rest of you.
It takes some doing.

============================================
That's what happens when a Dem Governor is recalled over a new car tax law
that wasn't even passed into law by fear mongering Repubs and is replaced by
an inexperiened foreigner/half-assed movie actor who worships a jackass like
Ronald Reagan and uses a racist clown like Pete Wilson as an advisor (the
shrimp repug whose spending on his pals got us into our mess).
And remember the best law you repug ever passed in California? The no
new taxes law, the one that eliminated California as a place to go for
research? Yeah, the law that has just been changed with very few
repug votes.
Every day, in every way you are making your selves into a minor party.
California farms lose main water source to drought
Complicating matters are federal court restrictions on water that can
be pumped from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta in Northern
California, which furnishes much of the state's irrigation and
drinking supplies, in order to protect endangered fish species.

In other words, both Bush administrations were screwing California?
Dang Dave you are begining to sound like
one more simple minded partisan fools :
Blame Bush Blame Bush Blame Bush
-tip- It wasn't Bush # 1
-Tip- It wasn't Clinton
-TIP- It wasn't Bush # 2
CLUE - It was the two US Senators and the
collective US Congress Delegation form the
State of California who let California "Slip" 30%
in It's US Federal Government Spending from
the pre-Clinton Years to the Present Day.
Yeah to some degree the Base Realignment
and Closure (BRAC) had something to do with
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_Realignment_and_Closure
it -BUT- Spending is Spending and the State of
California has been short-changed around $50B
every Year for almost 2-Decades due to the
Failure to Represent the Citizens of the State
of California by the two US Senators and the
collective US Congress Delegation. That adds
up to a 'collective' $1T RIP-OFF [.]

How much does "Prohibition" cost the state?
Is it a good policy to take tax-payers off the street, corrupt the police
courts and house these people at tax payers expense to only release them
with a "mark" on their record, thereby driving them into the underground
economy to not pay taxes ever again?
Estimates of bringing $50 B if the weed is taxed.
Welcome centers might just be a growth industry?
And Obama is not going to waste resources of this "Crime" he's got
bigger problems.
--
It's amazing what you can do. If...
you put your mind to it.
Prohibition benefits the biggest growth (pun intended) industry in
California: the prison system. Dipshitzenegger needs to get control of
the prison system instead of being led around by it.
