The failure of California

[Wyatt earp]

It's the weather stupid.

With global warming/climate change, the entire southwest part of the US hasn't seen winter since 2011.

Well that's another lie by you

California's endless winter: 8 feet of snow still on the ground in June

I've played golf all winter for the last 6 years. Never had a snow issue.

That's not what my link said liar...

What could be wrong with the people running this state into the ground?

California, Poverty Capital — Why are so many people poor in the Golden State?

California — not Mississippi, New Mexico, or West Virginia — has the highest poverty rate in the United States. According to the Census Bureau’s Supplemental Poverty Measure — which accounts for the cost of housing, food, utilities, and clothing, and which includes noncash government assistance as a form of income — nearly one out of four Californians is poor. Given robust job growth in the state and the prosperity generated by several industries, especially the supercharged tech sector, the question arises as to why California has so many poor people, especially when the state’s per-capita GDP increased roughly twice as much as the U.S. average over the five years ending in 2016 (12.5 percent, compared with 6.27 percent).

It’s not as if California policymakers have neglected to wage war on poverty. Sacramento and local governments have spent massive amounts in the cause, for decades now. Myriad state and municipal benefit programs overlap with one another; in some cases, individuals with incomes 200 percent above the poverty line receive benefits, according to the California Policy Center. California state and local governments spent nearly $958 billion from 1992 through 2015 on public welfare programs, including cash-assistance payments, vendor payments, and “other public welfare,” according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Unfortunately, California, with 12 percent of the American population, is home today to roughly one in three of the nation’s welfare recipients. The generous spending, then, has not only failed to decrease poverty; it actually seems to have made it worse.....

Now, bring forth the usual crowd of liars to "prove" it's not true.

Liberal policies.

And why you so defensive buck wheat?

 

[Bush92]

California used to have politicians with the right idea. Illegal aliens crossed, now vote in California...so common sense Pete Wilson types are no more in the Governors Mansion.

One percenter is “OTAY.”

 

[Bush92]

Pete Wilson just could not get any help from Clinton’s. They wanted illegal’s...they wanted to turn California blue. Democrats try the “California Strategy” for United States.

What we have is capitalism at it's finest, failing the people.

No, capitalism is one of the biggest reasons why the standard of living has risen so much for everybody over the past couple hundred years. It's the gov't that is failing the people IMHO.

The standard of living has risen, but the affordability of living has decreased. Both are the fault of capitalism, the latter a lack of regulated capitalism.

I can only imagine how much worse the illegal breeding/overcrowding problem would be if they gave them more free housing.
