The problems in CA are almost all intimately involved in the early conservative (read REAGAN) movement, and it's deadly after-effect. Prop 13 trashed the local tax base, punitive law (and brutal law enforcement) which now has us spending more on prisons than higher education, and the Repug Party ... See Moreunwilling to work on any solutions that aren't tax cuts. It's not profligate spending that's the problem (we spend less per capita than most statess), it's the stupid tax situation that forces the state to subsidize local governments and mandates for spending arising from our IDIOTIC initiative/ referendum system.
Don't blame the Dems for this mess; it's all squarely in the laps of St Ronnie and St Howard (Jarvis)
