Nah.

California may be getting close, but I think he really prefers Cuba, Venezuela or Mao’s China

If it weren’t for aging parents, we would have been out of here before the recession hit. Now we’re stuck. Although, it’s a perfect 78 degrees here in South Orange County. That is the only thing we still have going for us.

Well, as the GOP won major gains in the 2010 elections, Democrats stayed firmly in control of California.

The Democrats have comfortable majorities in both the State Assembly and the State Senate.

Every single elected constitutional officer in California, from governor on down, is a Democrat.

For better or worse, there is no way that Democrats can blame anything of a political nature on Republicans. Democrats control the levers of power in California, and have complete control. Whatever happens in California, the Democrats own it.

Or, to look at another way, Democrats have free reign to implement Democrat dream legislation in running a major American state, without the need to compromise with anyone else. We can see what an unfettered Democrat control of a state looks like.

public employee unions are a conflict of interest

always have been always will be

California has social programs staffed by union workers for just about everything - except teaching morality, work ethic and how to get off the rolls of social services. If union workers taught people how to be self-sufficient, there would be no need for said union workers, and that’s completely unacceptable to said union workers, who want jobs for their grandpa, uncle, nephew and cousins in social services, too.

I’m not abandoning Calif, but I am tootsweet exiting suburbia Sacramento and leaving it to the ever-increasing masses of unwashed poor, who, no doubt, will burn the town down - speed rail and all - when the social services checks stop coming, about 3 years from now, I’m guessing. Of course, the union workers will still get paid, it’s just the unwashed masses who’s checks will stop coming.

I’ll keep praying, tho, for some miracle immigration of about 5 million or so Republicans to join those hanging in here to wrestle the Golden State back from the unions, who’s own livelihood depends on producing everincreasing masses of unwashed poor who they control with dreams of entitlements.

I think Obama would be a good governor of California. He missed his calling.

“Progressive” policies will eventually drive the States over the brink financially & morally, ushering in “Caliphornia” in its wake...

Sound familiar? This is Obamanomics.


Did I just cross the dimensional wall into an alternate timestream? This article in the Washington Post?

All in all though, it’s a good and reasonably accurate article. Kudos to the Post for running it.
