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

[ProudModerate2]

Conservatives label CA a hell hole because of demographics and nothing else. You never hear them complain about quality of life in WV, KY, OK, KS, ect.

Conservatives are jealous.
If California was a nation, its economy would be ranked 5th in the entire world, just ahead of the United Kingdom.

To put this into perspective ...
The California 7 Billion dollar surplus, is larger than the entire yearly budget for some states (5 states to be exact: DE, SC SD, MT, NH and VT).

South Carolina's entire state budget is less than 7 million a year? What a crap hole that place must be

I'm sorry Badger, but I made an error.
I originally wrote "SC," but meant to write "SD" (South Dakota).
It has been corrected now, in the original post.
And remember, we are talking billions, not "millions" (you wrote millions in your post, but I'm sure you meant billions).
Just an FYI ... the South Carolina yearly budget is listed at about 29.5 billion.
