What was once “California Dreamin” is now a Golden State nightmare

I’d say I feel sorry for them, but I don’t, so I won’t. The majority of voters obviously want only one party, the dimocrats, who never saw a spending bill they didn’t love, to rule. Every major office in the state is now held by dimocrats.

And every time you think the liberal voters out there can’t get any more stupid, they prove us wrong, and surprise us, yet again, with their colossal ignorance. Well, maybe surprise is the wrong word, because nothing they do surprises me or you.

What these libturd dumbasses fail to see is that this out of control spending cannot be sustained. You can’t just keep raising income, sales, and corporate taxes, and expect those who are getting royally screwed to just lay back and take it, as if they have no other choice.

Even though the spending there by the liberals in the dimocrat controlled owned legislature is totally out of control and unsustainable (and has been for years), it’s going to get worse. Much, much, worse.

The state is already almost $160 billion in debt, and they have no way of paying this money back, other than a federal bailout. Then to make matters even worse, the liberal voters in California, in their infinite wisdom, actually gave the legislature, which already spends money like drunken sailors on shore leave liberals, the green light to pass the more unsustainable budgets that will add billions of dollars more to the state’s debt with a simple majority of the legislature approving it, rather than the two-thirds majority that was previously required. What sheer brilliance! This is akin to giving your checkbook full of blank checks to your teenagers and their friends and then dropping them off at the local mall.

What is going to continue to happen, and will now pick up steam, after the elections earlier this week, is a mass exodus of both growing businesses, large and small, with all their high-paying jobs, and the middle class, who are the backbone of what’s left of the state’s wrecked economy, and who are the productive workers in the state that worked those jobs, who will now move to “greener pastures”, states more business and taxpayer-friendly.

Already, California is going to lose 3-4 congressional seats when re-districting is completed, after the final numbers from the 2010 Census are tallied, due to hundreds of thousands of productive working people leaving the Golden State as businesses that employed them either moved to more business-friendly states or simply shut their doors due to overbearing regulations and high taxes.

There used to be around a dozen auto assembly plants in the state. Every American auto manufacturer, and even Toyota, had plants in California. They’ve all closed their plants there and moved elsewhere, taking their high paying jobs with them.

The defense, aviation and aerospace industries, companies such as Douglas Aviation, Lockheed-Martin, Convair and General Dynamics, that once had dozens of plants and facilities up and down the coast, and employed thousands upon thousands with good, high paying jobs, are now gone. And in turn, the smaller companies, that once supplied parts and supplies to these larger companies, also were forced to close their doors or move.

Even the high-tech companies, such as Apple, Google, DIRECTV, and Hewlett-Packard/Compaq, which were supposed to help offset some of these job losses from other industries’ leaving the state, are starting to wise up and move elsewhere; to Arizona, Oregon, Idaho, Colorado or Washington, all of which are much more business-friendly. Some of these companies might be run by liberals, but they have shareholders to answer to who won’t tolerate losing money just for the sake of staying in California with its business-killing taxes and regulations.

These liberal imbecile voters, and liberal imbecile legislators they elected, have brought this upon themselves for a myriad of reasons, including, but not limited to, allowing the state employees to unionize (this happened during Jerry Brown’s first term as Governor). The public employee unions are now the most powerful in the state, and its workers are or will be owed billions of dollars in benefits that the state will simply not be able to pay, again, without a federal bailout.

They stupidly expected “green energy” jobs to replace the thousands of high-paying “dirty energy” jobs, such as at coal-fired power plants, oil refineries, etc., which were shut down or moved out of California due to out of control anti-pollution laws, fines, and fees. And even these “green energy” companies are leaving the state!

Solexant, which is a solar panel manufacturing company, recently announced that it will relocate to Oregon, and will build a manufacturing plant there that will employ around 170 people to start.

The liberal voters also refused to suspend the state’s cap and tax energy law which will cause utility costs to sky-rocket, and lower the already low standards of living for a lot of its citizens. And if that’s not bad enough, they even allow illegal aliens to vote because most cities refuse to enforce the requirement that only U.S. citizens vote.

But just when we thought things couldn’t get any worse, it will, after the elections earlier this week.

With this mass exodus of productive people, leaving by the thousands every month, and businesses leaving by the dozens, all that will be left in California will be a collapsing economy, with virtually no jobs and no job growth in the near future, but hundreds of billions of dollars of unpaid debt.

So, in closing, all you California libs voters, we hope you will enjoy watching the train wreck that you are responsible for by giving expanded powers to your already out of control lib legislators, who will undoubtedly put you even further in debt. I know we will enjoy watching it.

Hope you like your millions of illegal aliens, lowering the state’s already pathetic standard of living and wages, collecting welfare and bankrupting the state’s social services, which I’m certain are already bankrupt and operating in the red.

Keep spending like the drunken sailors liberals you are. But when this all comes crashing down on your heads, and trust me, it will, and sooner, rather than later, don’t come hat in hand begging the rest of us taxpayers to bail you out, because, as the old adage goes: “That dog don’t hunt”. In other words, it ain’t gonna happen!

To you smart people, the conservative voters, who know I am right, I wish you good luck. You’re going to need it, if you plan on riding out the storm.
