But I guess Calif and is it doing well or not might be a small illustration of the differences between the Right and Left.
Some in here think it's not, but not one of em are Libs
Sure High taxes, Regulations, lots of social programs, $15+ livable wages, sanctuary cities immigrant friendly, pro education and anti Trump/current Admin mentality make it unattractive to some--but not folks like me.
To the links, The Forbs article basically said Cali's rate of debt is unsustainable not that the economy was bad now. It didn't take into account what can and might be done to correct future fiscal issues. The homeless article (posted twice) only mentions numbers and the title is somewhat misleading--While there are 250K homeless in Ca, that's spread out among 40 million people in the state so Cali, though leading in the actual number does not in per capita. What you don't see is the answers to WHY homeless gather in CA rather than other states. Take some time, find out for yourselves and you'll see the answe4rs are pretty common ensue and not at all some indication that California is doing badly.
I love living here, it fits my moral standard and I'll gladly pay higher taxes to reap the benefits of being a Californian. Homelessness? That's a topic for another thread as it's very complex. But Ca's just fine for the avg citizen.
But thanks for the links.
