  5. From everything I can see from the other side of the country, California has been ransacked for every penny that could be stolen by duly elected politicians.

    1. And as if they didn't have enough, they just extended Cap and Trade another 20 years. Only now they're calling it "Cap and Invest". Pretty funny, huh?

      In the last fifteen years, California's budget has tripled.

  6. If you want to understand what is happening to California, look at the demographic history going back about 10 years of who is leaving. First the very wealthy, then the businesses, then the professional technical classes.

    If you want to understand the natural consequences that are coming: look at Venezuela. This is a looting culture, rooted in government. Next, government will shrink because the take is decreasing, distilling itself down into a smaller, more virulent and ruthless group around the ruling class.

    1. See Detroit etc for a great example of how this happens. Detroit was a thriving city of 2 million, and now it is the armpit of the world.
