Democratic elections do not preclude loony people from winning office. When the electorate cares only about what they can get out government, loony liberals get elected. That's because they will promise ANYTHING and EVERYTHING to EVERYBODY and then **** over MOST of them.
California is replete with looney liberal politicians that were democratically elected by other looney liberals and utter dupes.
I predict we will all have to chip in at some time in the near future to keep California out of total bankruptcy. Pelosi seems to have guided a lot of funds to California already....just as Sleazy Reid did for his home state.
All members of Congress guide funds to their state. Suggesting otherwise is dishonest.
CA, under the leadership of Gov. Brown and the Democrat's leadership in the Assembly and Senate is on the road to recovery. A result of tax increases, spending cuts and a readily improving economy. The latter described as booming in a recent article on hiring in Silicon Valley. Housing in Mission Bay is being built in the district where AT&T Park is located, as well as a UCSF campus, high tech and medical research projects. Home values in the SF Bay Area are up by as much as 22.5% and the Stock and Bond Markets Nationally have grown every month since January.
The Bush Recession of 2007-2009 is over folks, no thanks to the Republicans and the Tea Party. In fact without their input we would be in full recovery with unemployment down to a manageable 5%. Cuts to Civil Service Employees - yes cuts to those first responders and teachers who showed their metal this past week in Tornado Alley - have kept the percent of unemployed high.
The economy in my region is good and getting better suggesting the prediction by asaratis is nothing but hot air coming from the ass of an ignoramus. Of course that's quite common on this forum.
