California is not salvageable. I admire any politician from either side or the aisle who runs for the Governorship, because his/her legacy is guaranteed to be tarnished by the inability to right the ship. It's a lost cause.
It was painfully obvious that the State budget that Schwarzeneggar the Inept and the Democratic State legislature passed was a farce. Now incoming Gov. Brown has some painful decisions to make.
The Democrats will be in charge and they will have to face reality and the Public Workers Unions and their Liberal base that massive cuts are coming.
Hopefully Brown will live up to his campaign promises or the Feds will have to step in.
None of this would be happening if the voters in CA elected conservatives to public office.
California is serious trouble because they give away taxpayer funded goodies like cotton candy, and they treat businesses like the enemy. They have their Utopia, funded with $24 billion in free money, they should be in heaven....errrr.... Utopia.

No one can fix California until the people there wake up and realize they cannot keep electing these pie-in-the-sky liberals and socialists into public office. They cannot tax and regulate people and businesses to death, to create their social justice paradise, while giving everyone a trophy and a free lunch.
California has added 12million in population since 1990, but only 150,000 new taxpayers... haha fail
And the liberals need to know why this is.
They're like the old cat lady who starts out with some cats of her own that she can feed. But then she has "compassion" and brings in every stray cat that wanders by and provides them all kinds of food and treats and allows them to breed out of control. After a while her own cats are getting less food and she keeps taking in more stray cats and they keep breeding. Still she cannot see where it's going -- she's just like a liberal and decides if she takes enough food from her original 6 cats that she can feed all the new cats she's getting.

I hope they don't get Angela Merkel involved here
BTW, if public workers take "massive cuts" that will affect your private businesses profoundly.

At some point, you cannot save all the cats. The voters in California need to prioritize what is vitally important to ensuring a prosperous and free society, and what is not. At some point they need to draw the line, and maybe let some of the needs and wants of people be their responsibility to fulfill, and not the state's.
