People and business are FLEEING the state because of anti-business policies, high tax policies of the liberals who have ruined the state.

Let them squeeze the money from the illegals who are left....oh that's right, the illegals are sucking the money out of the sanctuary state.

California has large sprawling cities with great climate... who wouldn't want to live there... and then the liberals move over there and demand theft from their neighbors and more social programs... let see how it plays out...

It's the largest state by population it should have the highest GDP. What's the GDP per capita ranking?

Number 1 entertainment- you call the filth emanating from Hollywood entertainment?

Coastlines where only the rich can live. Ok

California does have good universities and as a result it's home to a large technology sector. For how much longer is any one's guess.

They are making cuts in the WRONG places. Cut the administrative bloat, the public unions bloat FIRST.

Imagine, Brownie STILL wants that $100 Billion dollar HS train.

That whole high-speed train crap is ridiculous. Especially with the financial situation we’re in today. Building a HP train is something you try to do when there is a huge surplus and not deficit .

Wrong. That depends on the make-up of the economy.

Now there's a rational way to look at it.

Coastlines where only the rich can live. Ok

Are you against capitalism? I didn't realize that conservatives believed everyone deserved to live on the coast of California. Interesting.

Money pays the bills. Your attitude is what's wrong with CA. Pure fantasy land but somebody has to pay for it.

I know.... raise taxes.
