Hey, they are saving a cockroach or something, that is why they didn't build up their water, infrastructure.
So let EVERYBODY on here get this exactly straight, and no offense to Californians.....
1. California is deep in red ink, and grow deeper as they allow more illegals in their sanctuary cities, and give them medi cal; or is it Cali med.
2. To save a fish or cockroach, the lefties would not build the water infrastructure that engineers insisted they needed decades ago; and why? Because the population was growing massively, and almost 1/3 the state is actually a desert. But the lefties knew better as they always do, them, Hollyweird, and the illegal aliens all got together and came upon this idea moving forward.
OK, I don't give a damn, if Californians want to live under lefty rule and die of thirst, it is your choice. If they want to pay 7 dollars for a gallon of gas, go ahead. You want more illegals, say the word, we will deport them to you as soon as we get a republican in office.
This is not a global warming drought, this is massive population, horseshit planning, lefty ideology, installed in a partial desert! Businesses are fleeing, people are fleeing, and the left is whining.
Besides, I don't know what the eco fanatics are crying about. According to Al Gore and the rest of your eco priests, California was already supposed to be sliding into the ocean. It is just a little behind schedule, so hold out for another year, and you will have all the water you want. Need a boat? I have one for sale-)
Man, are you one dumb, ignorant bastard. Don't you ever research before you post stupid nonsense? And the rest of your post is just as foolish.
California is flush with cash. So why the warnings to prepare for recession?
Even as California's leaders prepare a new state budget that is flush with cash, Gov. Jerry Brown has increasingly raised the specter of another recession that could undo years of hard-won financial progress.
When he released his latest spending proposal last month, he said a downturn was "around the corner." In a speech to business leaders, he said the question was "not if, when." And he told county government officials that even a moderate downturn could cost the state $40 billion in revenue over three years.
The governor's warnings may seem overwrought, given that economists see no sign of trouble on the horizon. And state revenue has routinely exceeded even the most bullish projections in recent years.
But the question is whether California has done enough to guard against another budget crisis, and experts say that the answer is a resounding no.
"Is the state prepared for a medium recession?" said Jerry Nickelsburg, a UCLA economist. "State government is not."
California's rainy-day fund was strengthened by voters in November, requiring officials to stash away a portion of California's revenue each year. By next summer, it could contain up to $4.2 billion, according to an estimate from legislative analysts.
