California can be so intoxicating, people who spend time there think anything is possible.

So many voters bought into this illusion that the politicians learned to promise anything, and people would believe you. Politics in California became a fight between the people who promised paradise, and the people who said "wait a minute, let's think this through."

Of course, you can see who won that argument.

Now the bills are coming due, and the California power elites have hit on a new strategy: as the number of natives who have "gotten wise" increases, they can just import more naive dummy voters from south of the border. Problem solved, or at least problem kicked down the road for a future generation to solve.

Meanwhile, California Nights beckon!

I take no pleasure in seeing California collapse. Because. as rats abandon a sinking ship so shall liberals flee the land of their dreams to other states to start the process again.(See Colorado, Arizona)

Failure spawns more than failure, it creates a lifestyle.
