I'm pessamistic. We have a socialist government thus economic growth cannot keep pace with population growth. The quality of life in this State will continue to decline until the Marxists are run out of office.

Californians are increasingly pessimistic about the state's growth, believing a rising population during the next 20 years mostly means more air pollution, higher home prices for their children and ever-worsening traffic snarls, says a new statewide opinion poll.

Let's not forget our rotting infrastructure, ridiculously high tax rates, idiotic "environmental protection" regulations, our positively lackluster public schools that are little more than communist indoctrination centers, and the insane influx of illegals that will soon be getting driver's licenses.

California's going to tank in the next 5 years if this state doesn't get some solid Conservative leadership. Mark my words.

[concentric circles]

Economists have been saying for at least two years now that the economy will recover slowly and that California's recovery will be behind the rest of the country. So much for our elected politicians' prayer for a painless solution to billions of dollars of deficit spending. Some serious squirming just months away.
