California has the fastest growing economy in the United States. 25% of all new jobs created are created in California.
But keep drinking the right wing Kool-Aid that all blue states are economic failures.
California is the largest contributor in the USA to federal taxes. So, of course, Republicans like to lie about conditions in the state and call it a failure.
Texas, on the other hand, has much higher rates of murder and violent crime, much higher rates of mass shootings, much higher rates of unnecessary deaths from the complications of child birth, and a failing power grid.
Texas is also the only red state which contributes more in federal taxes. Then it takes from the federal treasury.
If not for blue states and their net contributions to th federal treasury, your nation would have gone broke years ago.
Good public programs in health, education and infrastructure, improve the lives of all citizens, and increased investment in the states, from all levels of business.
Well, educated workforce being the second requirement of a successful capitalist economy. The first requirement is a healthy and thriving middle class. Republican policies are strangling both.
