Californians ... vote a state bankrupt, then move

I LIKE the way you think!

The only problem is that California will just keep raising taxes with the help of illegals and the homeless not to mention the braindead liberals.

Living here is like everyone controls your finances but you!

California may get there first, but the US
government's ability to fund the interest
on the national debt can't go on forever,
either.

As the rooster who discovered an ostrich egg
in the yard told the assembled hens,
"Ladies, I'm not telling you what to do.
I'm showing you what can be done."

"The economic situation in 1920 was grim. By that year unemployment had jumped from 4 percent to nearly 12 percent, and GNP declined 17 percent. No wonder, then, that Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover urged President Harding to consider an array of interventions to turn the economy around. Hoover was ignored.

"Instead of "fiscal stimulus," Harding cut the government's budget nearly in half between 1920 and 1922. The rest of Harding's approach was equally laissez-faire. Tax rates were slashed for all income groups. The national debt was reduced by one-third.

"By the late summer of 1921, signs of recovery were already visible. The following year, unemployment was back down to 6.7 percent and it was only 2.4 percent by 1923."
