The most depressing thing about California is how far it has fallen.
It once represented the pinnacle of what America was meant to be. The liberal fools in their clueless, juvenile insanity have nearly pissed all of that magnificent largesse away.
The plight of the Golden State is nothing less than a national disgrace. That should make us all sad.
As a native son, I can truly attest to that. In the time that I was raised there, I don't think there was a better place on earth to be a kid.
My wife and I have four kids - all born in California. When our eldest was about nine, we could no longer ignore the handwriting on the wall. We pulled up stakes and headed to Texas, which is very similar to the California of my youth.
Reading articles like this one (and many others) validate my decision to get out.
What I cannot fathom is how people can’t see liberalism for the cancer it is..both my parents died of cancer, so I don’t use the word lightly..IT IS FATAL!! It is a fatal disease..When are people going to wake up from this nightmare? It destroys everything in its path. Yes, California USED to be a great state, but abundance breeds laxity, and laxity breeds liberals...before you know it, the cockroaches are even leaving the state for better opportunities elsewhere.
Our problems are largely social and political which is impacting the economy. California has reached that glorious state where the people cannot win, they cannot break even and they cannot get out of the game. (One glance at the composition of the legislature explains all.)
