The real estate market tanked. California lives and dies on property tax. They made so many bets on the housing market to keep going up. Now that the housing market has fallen flat it leaves a big hole for California.
Another thing is the teachers union and the prison guard unions have California by the balls. Prison guards make insane amount of money on overtime. Soon as they heard we were going to outsource some prisoners to out of state jails they lobbied the fuck out of the government to put a stop to that.
Oh and lets not forget about our neighbor to the south. When an illegal comes across the border and gets hurt or has an illness who do you think pays for the medical care, WE DO! You think Mexico ponies up any money? Or what about all the social services paid out to illegals, you think Mexico chips in. Then when the government tries to crack down on illegals getting state funded welfare, you get all kinds of people crying that we are striping away rights.
California has it bad!
