S&P and Moody’s believe it — in their views, California post the tax increase is in better fiscal shape than it has been in many years.
In a perverse way, the tax increase was a huge success. When you have a desirable product, you are suppose to raise the price until you hit the point of declining returns. It turns out that the LA and Bay Area elite will pay a pretty darn high price for to live in California; it’s not like anyone successful in Silicon Valley, San Francisco, or the west side of LA is moving to Dallas or Miami anytime soon.
Well, who am I to argue with Moody’s and the S&P?
