Which is getting better each month. Can you say the same where you are? Bet your state is getting worse each month. Most are. Mine is getting better. Even Ronnie had to raise taxes in California by a large margin even though he promised during his campaign that he was going to do a cut when he ran for Governor of California in order to make ends meet. Ronnie turned a vibrant economy over to the next Governor who road high on that. Unfortunately, Arnold screwed the pooch all the way around with his tax cuts. California is just now starting to dig it's way out of that Republican Money Pit. Do you care to display Kansas or Oklahoma? How about some of the Southern States. You can't tax cut your way out of debt like that. You can only tax cut if the economy is healthy and most states are NOT healthy right now with the economy in a bust state clean across the US. When the clock starts ticking (it started 2 months ago) on Trump, it went wild. The US is in serious financial trouble and you can't tax cut your way out of it. Especially by rewarding the Rich. The Middle Class got very little out of it and the poor lost what little shirt it had left. And it's just going to get worse before it gets better. And you can't blame it on Obama. Trump owns this one.
Even though my State is starting to get better, we are still experiencing wholesale shutdowns of small businesses. You know, the people that Trump said he would protect. So don't give me that crap about how wonderful your ultra right economy works. It only works for people making a lot of money but it nails those that are middle class and below. Small Business is in serious trouble.
Unfortunately, the first line of your essay destroys it in total. After all, my initial post about the economic disaster in which California finds itself is posted below followed by the one which appeared today.

If by "getting better each month" you mean getting deeper into debt, then I'd agree!
First you have to slow it down. It's slowing down. Then you have to freeze it. Then you have to reverse it. It takes years if not decades. Once you learn that California is the 5th largest economy in the world., yes even when including the major countries, the figures don't look nearly as bad as long as they can get a handle on it. Most Countries are in worse shape and I don't see you dinging them. Just California. And I don't see you including Kansas or Oklahoma figures either. You only want to harp on the richest and most successful economy of any state and ding it. What's the matter, you jealous?
You said it was getting better each month. Being $800+ Million deeper in debt than a few months ago is clearly, not getting better.
