California Dreamin'

[Gipper]

The once great state of California is being destroyed by you guessed it...liberalism.

A state that once had so much economic power, it alone was greater than nearly all nations of the world. But, decades of implementing idiotic liberal policies are destroying it from within. A state that had grown in population every year....well until now. Now it is losing population because of...you know...liberalism.

Will Americans ever learn that liberalism always fails?

California Dreamin'—of Jobs in Texas
Hounded by taxes and regulations, employers in the once-Golden State are moving East.
It wasn't your usual legislative hearing. A group of largely Republican California lawmakers and Democratic Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom traveled here last week to hear from businesses that have left their state to set up shop in Texas.

"We came to learn why they would pick up their roots and move in order to grow their businesses," says GOP Assemblyman Dan Logue, who organized the trip. "Why does Chief Executive magazine rate California the worst state for job and business growth and Texas the best state?"

The contrast is undeniable. Texas has added 165,000 jobs during the last three years while California has lost 1.2 million. California's jobless rate is 12% compared to 8% in Texas.

"I don't see this as a partisan issue," Mr. Newsom told reporters before the group met with Texas Republican Gov. Rick Perry. The former San Francisco mayor has many philosophical disagreements with Mr. Perry, but he admitted he was "sick and tired" of hearing about the governor's success luring businesses to Texas.

Hours after the legislators met with Mr. Perry, another business, Fujitsu Frontech, announced that it is abandoning California. "It's the 70th business to leave this year," says California business relocation expert Joe Vranich. "That's an average of 4.7 per week, up from 3.9 a week last year." The Lone Star State was the top destination, with 14 of the 70 moving there.

California has been swirling down the toilet for at least 20 years, probably much longer.

It's really a damn shame. Beautiful state. Idiotic politicians.

Its only a matter of time before GOD sinks California into the ocean. Just like he sent an huge quake in Japan.

yeah, but then you'd have to live in Texas. California will rebound, we were particulary badly hit in the mort crisis, a problem we bought and paid for with greed and avarice. Revenues are down, unemployment is high-laugh while you can, we will leave you behind again, not that you've come close to our economy yet--

Not unless they control their spending and limit the power and costs of their public unions. And, get control of the illegal alien costs. And, reduce the tax burden on business. To date, I see no evidence the state's politicians are doing this.

If you believe idiots like Jerry Brown and Gavin Newsome will do this, I feel sorry for you.

to all the California haters, see you in Disneyland (or maybe the beach, I hate Disneyland)

This has been going on a long time. California is probably the only state that has managed to export its manufacturing not to another country, but other states. Other states regularly advertise on CA TV stations about their friendly business environments. Aerospace, once a mighty pillar of CA economics, has largely fled to other states. Even one of liberalisms own institutions, Hollyweird, does much of its filming out of state. One of the things leftwingtards can never get into their heads is that capital is mobile - many high income people have left the state because they are tired of being looted by the state on behalf of overpaid government workers and illegal aliens.

Liberals very well know that capital is mobile. Why do you think no liberal is content with local creations of socialism? They know it does not work when people have the choice to leave. Liberal policies must be enacted on the federal level. Then knowing that in a global market that won't work either they must create and empower organizations like the UN. Liberalism will not be content until it controls the whole world - then when it is failing the solution will be to increase the pressure for people to comply which can only lead to dictatorship.

The only thing that could be worse than standing in line in 110F heat with a bunch of farting midwesterners in flipflops at space mountain would be standing in line at epcot center with 97F heat and 95% humidity along with a bunch of farting midwesterners.
