Yep, you're screwed. And you know what will happen, don't you? As the entitlements rise and so do the taxes, the productive citizens will abandon the state, freeing up the room for more welfare-seekers and illegals. The state will have to keep paying more and more for public aid, while collecting less and less in revenue. Eventually, there will be a collapse. And what happens then? The state demands that Washington bail it out. And Washington... complies. 54 electoral votes, remember. Damn it.
That is the scariest and saddest scenario. Even if we run away to a sane state, our wallets may not be safe.
Hey, may be we become red China refugees </s> :-))))
Only if the Democrats are in power, which I don't see happening in the next 150 years.
Not forever. Those electoral votes are based on population. At the rate CA is going, it could wind up more sparsely populated than Wyoming. :-)
