While California certainly has it’s problems (and believe me, living here I know all about the socialist spenders in Sacramento!) you’re complaining because we add 0.2% to the nation’s unemployment rate???
Give me a break!
California and it’s 7th largest economy in the WORLD (last time I checked) adds far, FAR more to the nation’s economy than it takes, or even gets back from the federal government.
If the FEDERAL government would do it’s job, build the fence and seal up the borders, California could well be on it’s way to doing what it needs to do to address it’s problems…but it is being overrun and Washington does little if anything to help. Repubs know getting tough on illegals doesn’t help in a state they already feel is lost, and Dems don’t want to “offend” a highly reliable source of votes, both here and on the national level.
So California is left to muddle through problems that could largely be helped by tough FEDERAL immigration policies…something you conveniently forgot to mention.
