Like we all knew and regressives lied about.

Why is liberal California the poverty capital of America?

Guess which state has the highest poverty rate in the country? Not Mississippi, New Mexico, or West Virginia, but California, where nearly one out of five residents is poor. That's according to the Census Bureau's Supplemental Poverty Measure, which factors in the cost of housing, food, utilities and clothing, and which includes noncash government assistance as a form of income.


Given robust job growth and the prosperity generated by several industries, it's worth asking why California has fallen behind, especially when the state's per-capita GDP increased approximately twice as much as the U.S. average over the five years ending in 2016 (12.5%, compared with 6.27%).


It's not as though California policymakers have neglected to wage war on poverty. Sacramento and local governments have spent massive amounts in the cause. Several state and municipal benefit programs overlap with one another; in some cases, individuals with incomes 200% above the poverty line receive benefits. California state and local governments spent nearly $958 billion from 1992 through 2015 on public welfare programs, including cash-assistance payments, vendor payments and "other public welfare," according to the Census Bureau. California, with 12% of the American population, is home today to about one in three of the nation's welfare recipients.

Everyone who lives here knows that this state is such a train wreck, it's almost somewhat impressive in its sheer cartoon lunacy. But a liberal's natural inclination is LYING so they'll never admit it. I've caught a gazillion liberals in a gazillion lies about a gazillion topics, I simply don't believe anything that comes out of a mouth that has a muslim dick in it (the only religion which teaches its followers to LIE to non-believers). I stopped believing liberal feces back when they started calling George Zimmerman "white" even though he doesn't look remotely white. So when a liberal says Cally is a thriving, healthy state, it's just liberal lie #31415926535.
