California's pathetic economy. What's to be done?

[AztecWilliam]

It's a sad story, and one that is getting worse all the time. Is there any chance that we can turn it around, or will California become a permanent economic basket case?

Very interesting read. Buried in there were some reasons to blame part of our problem on Jerry Brown and sme reasons not to vote for him.

If we don't get a handle on spending, we will be a permanent basket case.

I note that the author says some of the same things that I do about building things of lasting value and utility is money better spent than just giving it away like we do now. Better yet is to not spend money you don't have.

Jerry will be elected. We are going to have to drastically raise property taxes and sales taxes and income taxes to raise the standard of living in this state shortly after Jerry takes the oath of office for the third time.

We are going to have us a Socialist Utopia in California before any other state.

I figure that Massachusetts will run a race with us to see who can be more socialist eventually, but we should win. We have the politicians in place to make it so. Praise Obama. Praise Brown. Praise the Jewish Lady Senators. Praise the California Assembly. Praise the California Senate. Praise them all creatures here below.
