California is in trouble. A little math could go a long way to fixing things

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) unveiled a revised $306.5 billion budget proposal on Friday, while announcing the state’s budget deficit had grown to $31.5 billion.

Meanwhile DeSantis announces a $114 billion dollar balanced budget that comes with tax breaks. Granted California (39 million) has more people than Florida (22 million), but do the math. Newsom is proposing a budge that spends nearly $8000/person, whereas DeSantis and Florida are spending about $5200/person.

And what exactly is Californians getting in return that Floridians are not? Well you might want to check with all of those people leaving California for places like Florida. Apparently they are getting high taxes, high crime, homelessness, crumbing urban areas, and quite a bit of national mocking. Those are things you do not see in Florida. Unfortunately for Newsom, these are things that very few people like to see.

It also has the highest cost of living (along with Hawaii), and your dollar is worth approximately 0.83 in California compared to the national cost of living. They have one of the highest unemployment rate, and is currently about 70% higher than Florida's.

But hey. They are going to take away your gas powered cars, your gas stoves, and all sorts of other rights. They will also take away your electricity for periods of time in rolling blackouts just for the fun of it. They will demand that you get experimental vaccines, wear masks, and push you on all sort of other liberties.

High taxes, high crime, high cost of living, high unemployment, high rate of homelessness, I mean it sounds like a utopia to me! What is not to like about it?

Now consider that Newsom would like to put together a national Presidential campaign based on the concept of turning the entire country into a larger California. Oddly, this seems like a good idea to Newsom (and one would assume a few crazies on the left). Who really wants to live like this or is this just a stubborn inability to admit that liberalism is failing as a political policy.
