The annual budget for the city of San Francisco, pop. 900,000, is 6.8 billion. The same as for the city of Chicago and Los Angeles. When the panhandlers ask me for money I tell them “ Go to the SF civic center, that’s where my money is.”

They know if it happened once , it will happen again.
Some one will sign off on amnesty soon.
Smartest move a party ever did was flood the nations largest electoral state with illegals.

California was once the country’s wealthiest state. Thanks to bizarre Democrat policies it is now essentially bankrupt. Don’t ever say those Hollywood producers don’t make films that reflect what they see around them. Those vampire movies are like California itself. Walking dead beautiful zombies. If Obama is reelected you can be sure he’ll be taxing the rest of us heavily to bail out his bizarre loyal California constituents.

It was happening before the illegals showed up.
California was famous nationally for welfare, even back in the 1960s, and people moved here for it.

I live here also. Not only is it a third world welfare state, but the morons running it are hell-bent on making it worse.
The leftist-lature and governor recently passed laws that will give instate tuition and financial aid to ILLEGAL aliens! The state is broke but it's still bent on giving freebies to non-citizens?! How stupid must you be to not know that you cannot give away money that you don't have?!
California used to be a great state. But now I cannot wait to escape this pisshole.

Will we morph into Europe?
Or, will we look more like Mexico?

It is very sad, once a beautiful state.

Back then the state was in the black, and doing rather well. The libs wished to share the largesse with the "less fortunate."
It soon dawned on them that this would buy votes, and now we have 1/3 of welfare recipients, and for the first time ever, as of last Summer, more people employed by the public sector than private.
Ain't life grand?

It was really something once, but the people never had heart, they were always depending on it's geography, it's natural attributes, and the times, no thought was ever given to who they were as a people, or to the future, or to anything other than “today” and “getting mine” and live and let live until it was too late and they found themselves permanently in the grasp of liberalism and it's never ending death spiral.

In the late 1980s they started flocking to Minnesota and Wisconsin, the article says that people will not travel for welfare, but that is a bald faced lie.

Democrat leadership in California (mayors, legislators, govenors, etc.) are intentionally taxing and spending the state into failure. Why? Well, if Goldman Sachs is too big to fail, California will surely be bailed out by the rest of us. It is intentionally being done. Let the 5th biggest economy in the world and let it fail? Europe won't allow Italy, Greece, France, or any of the others fail,...they calculate we will not allow California. In other words, Jerry Brown is intentionally enslaving your children and grandchildren so he can live profligately and get one more damn vote.
The same thing is true of the dems in Washington. They are intentionally bankrupting the US government so they can come in and reconstitute the social compact, which will include a one world currency, according to Sarcozy. All of this destruction of wealth is planned by the left. It will take a few years and a few more exegencies. But once they get the majority of the purblics' mind right,...it will come.

California has one-third of the nations welfare recipients.
California lawmakers and politicians have such a big heart. They take care of people, from cradle to grave.
So, why not make them have a bigger heart.
Let's have all the other states ship their welfare recipients to California, and, the other states can prosper, while Californians show how bighearted they are.
