If California did nothing else but drop business taxes to 5% and cut their regulations against businessES by 50%, they could take in every illegal alien in the country and still be ahead of the game.
Fixing California’s economy is technically easy.
Encourage oil drilling throughout the state and coast.
Elmilinate CARB “California Air Resources Board” and rescind the new cap and trade law.
Reduce environmental regulation on businesses.
We do so many idiotic things in this state like sue businesses into oblivion for not having ramps per Americans with Disabilities Act. We halt projects over the Migratory Bird Treaty. We halt projects over Stormwater issues.
Environmental nazi enforcement is a huge reason that this state is going to hell.
Then ther is the fact that 1 in 3 US welfare cases live in Calfornia. We could take the least poor half of them and end their money tomorrow.
Here is an easy way to end California illegal immigration. Automatic $1000/incident fine for every illegal working in a business. Poof. No more illegals.
California voters are the most idiotic insance voters in the USA. They love all of the utopian socialist policies that we get by voting for liberal socialists all up and down the states. As a populace, the like the state the way it is.
That is why California is doomed to ultimate insolvency, which is good because it is the only way California rebounds. Like an alcoholic in denial, we need to hit bottom before the nice priest can steer us into treatment at AAA.
It is just a matter of time before California hits bottom. I say the sooner the better, but the Detroit example seems to indicate that hitting bottom takes a really, really long time.
