Other States would kill to have California’s GDP potential. Many other States have similar Debt problems without the GDP potential to recover.

That list, right there is the truth, of trying to please everybody and satisfying nobody
Liberals see no connection between out of control spending on a bloated government, and the government’s dire financial distress.
Liberalism really and truly is a mental disorder, characterized by a tendency to fixate on the pursuit of a desired goal while remaining completely unaware of the adverse effects this pursuit is having.
Liberalism is the mindset of a small child who chases a ball out into traffic on a busy street. They have absolutely no awareness of the severe dangers of what they are doing. All they can think is “Chase the ball, chase the ball, chase the ball, chase the BEEEEEEPPPP thud….”
That’s what’s happening to the USA right now.
Easy, and I don’t need to write a novel to get my point across.
They over taxed, and still spent more on entitlements then they took in. (true democrat economy)

US Slips Down the Ranks of Global Competitiveness
CNBC.com | September 05, 2012 | 04:04 AM EDT
The United States has slipped further down a global ranking of the world’s most competitive economies, according to a World Economic Forum (WEF) survey released on Wednesday.
The world’s largest economy, which was placed 5th last year, fell two positions to the 7th spot – marking its fourth year of decline.
A lack of macroeconomic stability, the business community’s continued mistrust of the government and concerns over its fiscal health were some of the reasons for the downgrade, according to the annual survey.
“A number of weaknesses are chipping away at its (the U.S.’) competitiveness…(for example) the U.S. fiscal imbalances and continued political deadlock over resolving these challenges,” said Jennifer Blanke, Economist at the Geneva-based WEF.
Political deadlock over reducing the unsustainable federal government budget deficit – projected to hit $ 1.1 trillion this year – prompted Standard & Poor’s to downgrade the country’s credit rating by one notch to AA+ from AAA last August.
VOTE ROMNEY / RYAN.
Some facts for you
President Obama is a student of Marxism
Plain and simply put
He is a socialist
He thinks government is the answer and we should all look to the government for everything
He hates people who do well on their own
That’s where the “THEY DIDN’T BUILD THAT” mentality comes from!
He insists that government is the reason people have anything
That may be true for deadbeat democrats
But not republicans and Independents
We are a capitalist society
The best Country there ever was
We have proven Socialism does not work
That’s why the USSR is now broken up!
No one is willing to die to get into China
CHECK THE FACTS
Unemployment in Jan 2009-7.8%. NOW 8.3%
Middle class income in 2009- $ 54.900. NOW $ 50.800.
Gas per gallon in Jan 2009. $ 1.84. NOW $ 3.82
National debt in Jan 2009. $ 10.6T. NOW $ 15.8T
50% of minority Kids drop out of school
75% of minority babies are born to uneducated non working unwed under age mothers
93% of ALL CRIME committed in America are committed by minorities
90% of minorities vote the democratic ticket
Are these the people President Obama wants all of America to be like???
Are we better off now???
Will we be after four more years of this kind of results???
HELL NO
do we need four more years of this ?
MOVING FOREWARD???
I DON’T THINK SO
WE’D BE BETTER OFF IF THAT CHAIR REALLY WAS EMPTY
Vote for ROMNEY / RYAN
CLINTON, OBAMA, AND THE DEMOCRATS ARE ALL LIEING!!!
THIS IS WHAT CAUSED THE RECESSION
NOT BUSH OR THE REPUBLICANS
Clinton HUD Secretary 1998 (moments after announcing a record high discrimination settlement) Video Link Below
“”To take a greater risk on these mortgages…yes. To give families mortgages they who they would not have given otherwise?…yes.”
Mr. Cuomo is then asked if this people in this group could have gotten the loans at all in the first place. In a telling response, he answers:
“They would not have qualified, but for this AFFIRMATIVE ACTION on the part of the bank…yes.”
Mr. Cuomo then confirms for a reporter that the affirmative action is indeed for minorities and that he expects the default rate to be higher than the rest of the portfolio:
“It is…by income it is mostly by minorities…yes.”
TRANSLATION GIVE LOANS TO PEOPLE WHO CAN’T PAY THEM OR BE FINED FOR DISCRIMINATION !
Fannie Mae Eases Credit To Aid Mortgage Lending
WASHINGTON, Sept. 29, 1999 — In a move that could help increase home ownership rates among minorities and low-income consumers, the Fannie Mae Corporation is easing the credit requirements on loans that it will purchase from banks and other lenders.
The action, which will begin as a pilot program involving 24 banks in 15 markets — including the New York metropolitan region — will encourage those banks to extend home mortgages to individuals whose credit is generally not good enough to qualify for conventional loans.
THIS PROVES THE COLLAPSE OF THE BANKING SYSTEM STARTED UNDER PRESIDENT CLINTON
THE DEMOCRATS PUSHED FOR LOANS TO MINORITY AND LOW INCOME PEOPLE WITH BAD CREDIT
NO WONDER THE BANKS WENT UNDER
HolyShit !!
WTF do they need a “California Bureau of Home Furnishings and Thermal Insulation * for?
If you leave Government to Liberals.. they would have a “Bureau of Bureaus”

Joe Heaton is todays winner of the “Most Brainwashed Award”
Congratulations Joe ! You can pick up your trophy and complimentary food stamps at your local Democrat Headquarters !
Enjoy !
You are highly annoying. Do you actually think people read EVERY thing you wrote?
You need help.
Because California unlike the many GOP-leaning states contribute more in federal funding than they receive in federal taxes.
The big problem is tha CA pushed out manufacturing. CA is responsible for the TX boom.
The Democrats run the state, that’s why. Very simple.
It’s broke because of Proposition 13.
You’re compendium is nothing but a mindless, cut-and-paste randomness.
