California 'Hell-Hole' to Run $7 Billion Budget Surplus

[Landslide Lyndon]

California was an ungovernable mess in 2010, and everyone admitted that. What changed since then is that the state had Democratic governors and Democrats obtained supermajorities in the legislature and consequently were free to raise taxes and apply their policies.

Are we really comparing California to places Republicans ran to the ground like Kansas, Oklahoma, and Kentucky?

Comparing those states is extremely disingenuous in every way .


If you wanna compete California to any state , compare it to Texas and Texas is clearly better

There was one Greek politician long ago who said that in our country "the numbers thrive and the people wither".
Texas seems to be a similar case.

Memo: Gov.-elect Beshear to face a massive budget shortfall

A memo from outgoing Gov. Matt Bevin's administration says Gov.-elect Andy Beshear faces a massive budget shortfall as he prepares to take office.

The memo from Bevin's budget director estimates the shortfall could exceed $1 billion during the next two year

Shocking.

I’ve been back in California for one day after being in Texas for 7 months and I think I would rather live in a box on the 405 for the rest of my life than to redo those 7 months.

About 30 years I drove from Wichita Falls to Lubbock and the first run down podunk town I came to (about 5 minutes out of Wichita Falls) I thought, "Huh, this must be the town they filmed The Last Picture Show in" and then I reached the next town and thought "No, this must have been the town", by the time I reached Lubbock, I realized that it was every West Texas town.

Wait till you see "Hell or High Water".
