That's a jaded view.

If you want to blame "ruin" on politicians, then they are all responsible. California's GOP isn't a Saint. Ask Arnold...

And California isn't ruined. It's on economic ropes. But what else is new.

CA better do better at keeping Ag business in the state. Many don't know, but that's the state's leading industry!

As for Ag business, it's like most California businesses that have to compete with other businesses while being limited by high taxes, fees and regulation, all thanks to the Democrats. Ca is over taxed, over regulated and mired in bureaucracy and red tape.

What does the bible have to do with it or the Lakers?

Yeah ruined? You didn't see the list that most of the economically stressed counties are in Ca?

Ca used to be touted as a state that could become it's own nation and still be as prosperous as the US. But that has been changing for several years with over taxation of businesses, over regulation and mounting fees. If one is relatively secure in the job they have or is an over paid member of the teachers union, they might be oblivious to the direction Ca is taking. I don't see how otherwise someone can't be aware of the financial direction the state has been taking for several years of a democratically controlled State

Yeah... that's a pretty complicated issue, but definitely a problem.

But to blame the ruin of an entire state on a single political party is simplistic political pandering IMO.

••Oh good grief, it's not ruined. If you don't like it, move to Idaho. We're going through tough times. It'll pass.

I don't know, S-Man. This state has been awful ever since Reagan was the governor.

So I can't have an opinion about California I have to move somewhere else instead of remain and hope for change? Change won't happen as long as people have that attitude

There are a lot more people in the state and an unselfish view looks to the long term prosperity of the state and the citizens not the few. And Im sure there are plenty of people in the state or those that had to move their business out of state to remain competitive would take exception to your assertion they don't know what they are doing.

Businesses are and have been exiting California, which leaves many Californians out of work, even without a recession or depression. The fewer that are working the less that are paying taxes. The less taxes being paid the less revenue the Govt takes in. The less they take in the more they have to either or both raise taxes and cut spending....

Democrats are loath to cut spending and historically view raising taxes and establishing fees or increasing fees as the best option. But it's partly due to that reason that many businesses have left or closed doors.
