cali has nearly 1 trillion in debt
Ny has nearly 700 billion in debt..with NYC itself having over 190 billion in debt

A state with a growing economy and little to no deficit spending would be stupid to not issue more debt right now considering that it's as close to free as it'll ever be if their bond rating is high enough. Long term pension obligations are a much bigger threat to state and local governments than issuing new debt for infrastructure investment.

And California is currently sitting on a $4 billion surplus.

Not to mention the fact California has one of the biggest economies in the world.

having a 'big economy' doesn't do much when you have nearly a trillion dollars in debt

Liberals don't understand or even care about debt, it's a foreign concept to them that other people deal with. To liberals, debt is always someone else's problem.
