Well with all that’s been going on in the financial arena we should just look at California for inspiration. Just look at the entitlements, retirement plans for government workers, the go green environmentalists that save the smelt, the transit system, there is just so much to list.
With the reality of California on the edge of bankruptcy we should look at them. Then run in the opposite direction. I grew up in CA. and it was once prosperous but then in my opinion, the environmentalists started to take hold. Now they are not the whole problem, there is overspending, illegal immigration ECT. I believe that a state that keeps claiming drought but uses fresh water out of reservoirs to save a small fish (smelt) has got a few screws loose. Then you have a state that has some of the biggest oil and natural gas deposits of the coast, way off the coast, but won’t drill have got another screw loose. The drilling would almost instantly, from the economists that I listen to, would balance their budget. Then take care of the illegal immigration problem and the state could be back on track. These solutions except the illegal immigration is blocked or caused by the environmentalist.
In my humble opinion look at what California is doing, and then do the complete opposite.
