As the number of recipients increased and the producers proportionally decreased, the fiscal disaster that is now CA was a certainty.

The rest of the nation has for many years seen CA as a place for crazy moonbat hippies but also as a financial center. Now they see it not only as a place for crazy moonbat hippies to gather and howl at the moon but as a financial disaster as well. In short, even with it's population, CA simply isn't nearly as influential as it once was. There are about 37 million Americans who live in CA but there are 288 million who don't.

As odd as it may sound, the best way to save the nation and CA might be for productive people to move elsewhere to not only strengthen their adopted state but to hasten the total collapse of the CA welfare system. If the welfare system can't pay, the useless will either have to leave or go to work. If they actually go to work, they will likely have more of an appreciation for their hard earned cash and not be as likely to vote to give it to someone else.
If you felt the same about corporate welfare your post would have had more credibility. Do you really believe CA has deteriorated since the 70? Really?
Lot's of us got filthy rich here since the 70's but we weren't so pre occupied by the less fortunate seeking help!
BTW many other states in this great Union are the recipients of our CA tax money derived right here from CA. Seems they don't produce a lot of stuff and have extremely high rates of obesity and lack of education.
But beatin' up the less fortunate has always been great sport huh?
PS: Dems in CA have a super majority presently. That's reality...I've communicated with any and all who have a vote on these matters...Have we all?
