I think the righties have a somewhat clever M.O. First, they adored the Governator, and for the most part, he acted as a conservative governor. Later, when people start noticing how the state is collapsing, the righties say he wasn't a true conservative, that he was acting like a "liberal Dem" and THAT is why the state is collapsing. They call him a "RINO" and such.
So, Repubs actually work to destroy states and governments, but liberals get stuck with the blame for it. Handy!
This is exactly correct. The Repubs want to tear down the Federal Gov't first and then work on tearing down state gov't second. Repubs want Medieval-style Castle/Corporation Gov't. You are "protected" if you live under the Corporate arms, behind a gated community, safely hidden from everything...
√ The cal state prison inmate population is bursting with a 35 - 42 % illegal alien population, thank you flimsy weakling republicunts !
Do you have a stat to back that up from a non-Fox News affiliated website? I have heard the entire system is stretched to overcapacity by 30% but you're insinuating that 4 out of 10 inmates are "illegal aliens." I don't believe that and you need to retract this statement or back it up :hatsoff:
√ Our hospitals are not collecting on their accts receivables
As you know, a hospital may not turn away patients under the law, citizen in good standing or otherwise.
You've never heard of Collection Agencies have you? They work fine. You're also not precise. Emergency Rooms are legally obligated to treat everyone who walks through their doors. It's not "hospitals" generally, because some hospitals actually have been caught dropping off patients on street corners who can't pay. The "system" is set up so that if you don't have money, you go to the Emergency Room. That needs to be changed, but changed in ways you're probably not willing "to go there" but, in reality, people want it.:dunno: People don't want to file for bankruptcy or be hounded by Collection Agencies because the Hospital sends a person a $30,000 bill after Insurance has written DENIED on the bill....do you get that?
One problem is because of the way the Constitution is rigged to favor smaller states, California is the most under represented, per capita, state in the Federal Government of all the States in the Union.
Yes, exactly. The Constitution no longer represents the needs and "reality" of a Union of 350million people. How many "Americans" were there in 1776? Probably 100,000? Maybe 200,000? The Senate, specifically, is an out-of-date cabal which clogs Democracy and ensures politicians of both political slants have never-ending jobs. The SCOTUS needs term limits too.
California's mess can be centered completely on Prop 13. When that was passed, the state began to spiral downward into the shitter that it presently is.
California's taxes need to increase but with the way it's become a Prop13-based pump/dump Real Estate driven economy...it really will never rebound.
The only sensible California Governor candidate is Gavin Newsome, of San Francisco, and he's presently being run out of state politics...:dunno:
The state wants to wallow in it's own misery, basically....
