Agree, beware. I think the folks in California are still thinking they have a "backup plan" ... they really believe there could be a federal bailout. Hopefully, that changed last Tuesday night. Their federal bailout would come from the HOUSE of REPRESENTATIVES ... that is now controlled by (we are told) fiscal conservatives. If they vote for a bailout of California, then they've once again exposed themselves to getting fired.
There is a certain absurdity of casting a vote for Jerry Brown ... Boxer, a normal lib, I can understand from California ... but Brown? He was a LOSER last time, just a retread hippie radical and they want THIS for leadership out there? They now deserve what they voted for ... disaster.
This election will cause even more Californians to flee to Washington (State), increasing the blue/liberalness of both states.
“Gosh I hope you don’t suffer when CA tanks and takes it’s percentage of GDP with it...”
The last time I visited CA (Sacramento) I thought I had gone through a timewarp and landed in 1930s fascist Germany. The amount of control unelected bureaucrats have over property mirrors that of fascist Germany. It was stunning. I looked at a piece of property (50 acres) and it was zoned for one house per 12.5 acres. It could only be used as decreed by the local bureacratic fascists.
I find it incredible that the majority of citizens in CA don’t realize that an unaccountable political clique writing law is, by definition, a dictatorship.
You have a long way to go to take back your state from these fascists. The only way I can see of quickly taking back CA from the fascists is for patriots to take over the federal governement and send in a division of investigators, lawyers and armed agents to your state to arrest and imprison all these bastards.
I think taking back your state is out of your hands and beyond your ability. You’ve been invaded by an army of criminal fascists and need outside help.
The CA “government” is a menace to the entire republic and must be dealt with.
Hopefully, most of the rest of America has had enough of the worthless, abusive, drug addled boyfriend/husband politicians/Marxists and will get rid of them and kick them out of the house for good.
It was a start, but only a small start. There is along and painful road to recovery awaiting us and we need to stay on it and not get pulled back into the chronically abusive relationship.
Nobody is laying blame...
It’s just factual that the more responsible people leave, the greater the percentage of losers left behind.
I wouldn’t blame anybody for leaving chaos.
So, in a few years, Orange county will need to borrow money just to keep the lights on. County government will only be a Pension funding operation for Unions. All other business will need to cease.
Communism is like a virus that kills its host.
Electing Jerry Brown was a declaration that California has committed itself to bankruptcy and ruination.
Did you move to a better boat when Obama was elected?
You left the US?
You said ‘you get what you vote for’. Did you get what you voted for in ‘08?
Yes - we are working at taking control of the boat but we are, as you say, severely out numbered. Not everyone agrees with you that retreat to a ‘better boat’ is the best option because you generally don’t win a war by giving up ground - in this case 13% of GDP and some prime import/export ports along the coast. I’d rather not give Soros his own state.
Points taken, and I do admire and support your endeavors!
Having said this, I must admit that I am still glad that I no longer live in California.
Sorry, it was early and the coffee hadn’t brewed yet.
No biggie. I’ve pulled up stakes a time or two myself.
