I would like to see a state that wasn't controlled by the unions and their greed.

I'd like to see a more business friendly state with the recognition that, while we don't want to let big business run roughshod over us, we also need to recognize big government can also hurt the people it says it's helping.

I'd like to see a state that was first in the nation to getting the costs of the MediCal program under control....that is, quality health care at reasonable expense to the taxpayers....that, instead of throwing good money after bad at the financial black hole we call health care, we could be a model to follow for other states on how to do it well at reasonable cost.

Well, really I'd like to go back in time to when there were hardly any people here, and I could live by the beach and enjoy it all by myself. LOL. Other than that, less people, less crime and gangs, cheaper real estate so I could live by the beach, and more jobs. That would do it.

More jobs, a smaller population, a better education system, less of a gang problem, less regulation of small business, no smoking bans, more respect for personal freedom, less of a nanny state, less of a prison state, balanced budgets, legal weed, bars open 24 hours, less sprawl....

It would be a place where it's negative residents would wake up and see how lucky they are to be living in the most coveted state in the union. To stop dwelling on the bad and open your eyes the natural beauty she has to offer.
