Is Gavin Newsom the best governor in California history?

[Synthaholic]

Isn't he great?

 

[Nostra]

They don't call him the Best Governor in America for nothing. He gets things done for the people.

That’s is amazing!


Gelboi is awesome!


How did he do it?????


Allthe major metro areas in Kalifornia do not report crime to the FBI.

Overall, only 27% of the state reports data for the full year.


GELBOI IS A GENIUS!

your to late synth, there was another thread or two about this saying just the opposite....

• 
  Job Declines: Some researchers estimated a 2.7% to 3.2% decline in fast-food employment, equating to thousands of jobs lost.
• Price Hikes: Fast-food prices in California have grown at roughly double the rate of national trends.
• Automation: The rise in labor costs has accelerated the adoption of automated kiosks and mobile ordering systems.
• Mixed Impact on Workers: While those who kept their jobs with consistent hours benefited from higher earnings, others faced reduced hours.

But…..but……but Gelboi’s press office said so.

 

[Nostra]

That makes him #29.

Gelboi is late to the party again…..

Instead of handing out money taken from others, Gelboi could just lower, or eliminate, the HIGHEST IN THE COUNTRY GAS TAX OF 70.9 CENTS PER GALLON.

California State and Local Liabilities Total $1.6 Trillion | California Policy Center

California’s total state and local government debt now stands at almost $1.6 trillion, or about half the state’s GDP. That isn’t an alarming ratio when compared to the national debt, which has now soared to 128 percent of U.S. GDP with no end in sight. But Californians carry this $1.6 trillion...

Just as Newsom lies about the California homeless crisis which he promised to end he continues to lie about wildfire prevention.

• Wildfire Prevention: A 2021 investigation found that his administration overstated the number of acres treated with fuel breaks and prescribed burns by 690%.

The left complains about Trump lies but Newsom’s lies are acceptable? Can we get better candidates that haven’t driven their state into the ground?

do you notice how people like synth and other newsome lovers never want to talk about his negatives...

All they want is to tout numbers that were in place before Newsom became governor because in almost every metric Newsom has hurt Californians.

He sure has been on a roll. California just passed Japan as the 4th largest economy, and that all happened under him.

BS millions have left the state, its broke, they face a fuel shortage, massive social service fraud is exposed, CA is in serious decline.

Strong on unions. What's JD Vance strong on, ass-kissing?

California's economy is experiencing an extended slowdown as of early 2026, characterized by high unemployment (5.6% as of early 2026), a massive multi-year budget deficit (projected at $18 billion to $22 billion), and weak job growth. While tech and services previously drove growth, the state is now facing structural issues, including high costs of living and declining, stagnant private-sector job growth, creating a "two-speed recovery" with weaker performance compared to the national average.

Key Indicators of Economic Challenges (As of early 2026):

• Declining Growth: California's real GDP grew only 1.5% over a recent 8-quarter period, significantly trailing the national average of 3.8%.
• High Unemployment: The state faces one of the highest unemployment rates in the nation, frequently topping 5.3% to 5.6%.
• Budget Deficit: California has swung from a surplus to a multi-year deficit, with projections indicating a $22 billion shortfall.
• Stagnant Jobs: Outside of government and healthcare, the state has added few or no net new jobs in over a year and a half.
• Migration and Cost of Living: High taxes and unaffordable housing continue to drive a "mass exodus" of residents and businesses.

Outlook:

• Weakened Tech Sector: The Information and Professional services sector, previously California's engine, has seen its growth contribution drop significantly.
• Slow Recovery: Economic weakness is expected to persist, with analysts projecting sluggish conditions to continue through late 2026 or into 2027.
• Comparative Decline: Other states, such as Texas and Florida, have shown stronger post-pandemic economic growth than California.

many of the big companies were there long before he got there...his main concern should be why so many have left and try to correct it....as you can see he is doing a bang up job with that....

America could use a winner.

More than a million Californians in the labor force are jobless and the state’s unemployment rate, currently 5.6%, has been the highest or near the highest of any state for several years.

Employment doldrums have affected even the state’s hallmark sectors, most obviously Southern California’s withering film and TV production industry and the Bay Area’s high technology concentration.

The latter has almost single-handedly propped up the state’s economy and generated a huge portion of tax revenues, but layoffs have proliferated as artificial intelligence is increasingly employed — a syndrome that also affects Hollywood.

Stubborn, or even increasing, unemployment makes it more difficult for state and local governments to cover their budget deficits — thus underpinning the thrust for tax increases on state and local ballots. The sluggish economy also hampers efforts to improve two of the state’s most pressing socioeconomic issues, its highest-in-the-nation poverty and homelessness levels.

Even Californians who have homes and jobs are feeling the economic pinch. Combining economic data with polling results, the Public Policy Institute of California recently discovered rising economic angst among California residents.

“California is one of the largest economies in the world, but many working Californians do not feel economically secure (and) they struggle to pay their bills, save for the future, and balance the demands of work and daily life,” PPIC reported, adding that polling data “indicate that pessimism about future economic opportunity has become even more pervasive amid recent economic volatility.”

California in the past year hasn't even been in the top 30 among states on the economy. Gavin Newsome is a disaster.
