We, in California, pay our own way and support the welfare states of the south and midwest. I would not live anywhere else as I can not tolerate regressive people, also known as republicans. And our state is doing just fine and our republican constructed deficit is getting smaller year by year with Brown.
LOL! CA is drowning in debt and has had a net loss in (legal) residents and businesses in the last five years. People and businesses are leaving because of your confiscatory taxes and burdensome regulations.
Are you Trumpists just incapable of telling the truth? The FACTS are SO FREAKING EASY to access in the age of the internet - why do you LIE?
From the State of California Department of Finance:
NEW DEMOGRAPHIC REPORT SHOWS CALIFORNIA POPULATION NEARING 40 MILLION MARK WITH GROWTH OF 309,000 IN 2017 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: CONTACT: Doug Kuczynski/Ethan Sharygin May 1, 2018 (916) 323-4086 H.D. Palmer (916) 323-0648 SACRAMENTO— California added 309,000 residents in 2017 to bring the state’s total population as of January 1st to 39,810,000, according to new population estimates released today by the California Department of Finance. Last year’s 0.78-percent growth rate compares to the 0.86-percent annualized growth rate since the 2010 Census. Since 2010, when the state’s population was 37,253,956, population growth has averaged 333,000 a year.
Yes, California's once massive population growth has fallen, both because illegal immigration has fallen off a great deal in the past decade or more, and because of all the usual factors that have slowed population growth everywhere - like falling birth rates.
But no, it didn't have a net loss last year, and hasn't had a net loss over the past 5 years.
LIAR!
