    Tech is booming, stock market is making records, and unemployment is at a 10 year low but they are running a deficit again. The public sector unions run CA and they are screwed when the next recession comes because it won't get any better:

    California relies heavily on income taxes and capital gains taxes to fund their existing government and their pensioners. An increasing amount of baby-boomer paper pushers are retiring, putting further strain on their budgets.

    In other words, they have virtually no margin for error yet they are projecting a deficit when the economy is supposed to be at or near peak performance.

    Kali is paying billions for the train to nowhere. Billions on illegals which now includes attorney fees to fight deportation. Welfare up the kazoo and more stupid liberal bullshit than you can shake Dflea's teeny little dick at.

    Always entertaining to read the NW contingent portending DOOM for California. The graphics used here are outdated by four months. Might want to update things. Sure, there are problems, but we'll be fine, thanks. If it pisses off Dems for not spending enough and Reps for spending too much, then it's likely in the ballpark of where it should be.

    Pension crisis ongoing in Dallas, fire/police obligations seem unsustainable, which is great for a city with serious racial and class tension.

    So you agree their economy is at peak performance.

    Why did you link that stupid article?
