I remember California as being the advanced technology state when it came to jobs. The school rankings were the highest in the country. People from all over flooded into California to seek good jobs and to provide a great future for them and their children. That was only a short time ago. Now, things are much different. Illegal immigration, and wasteful spending was the rule under Democrat control. Then along came Arnold! He spoke about those “girly men” and criticized the Dems for increasing taxes and raising the debt. He said he would do different even though we all knew he was a moderate. He sounded and looked tough and used his “Terminator” accent to make his political comments. Yep, everybody liked Arnold. He was going to straighten out “Caleefornia”!

Now California is the worst state in the country for high taxes and good jobs. The tech industry is falling apart, the housing industry is at it’s worst in it’s history. Even the illegals are leaving! Small businesses are vanishing due to high taxes and crime. The schools have 25% of their students that can’t read English, the dropout rate is climbing and the schools are near the bottom when rated against all other schools in the U.S. The budget deficit is 24 billion and rising. They have been bailed out numerous times and are now realizing that cost cuts will have to be made at all levels of spending. Prisoners will have to let out because the prisons are overcrowded and under funded. Teachers will be laid off and government buildings will be closed and sold to anyone who wants to buy. Who will want to live there? Not me!

If we want to know what the rest of the country will look like in a few years, just take a look at California, a once proud and prosperous state when real statesmen ran the government, like Ronald Reagan. This is what liberalism and Socialism will do to all of the states. Even a liberal state like Vermont wants to close itself off from the grip of this liberal, Socialist path we are going down with Obama and his America hating Bill Ayers tendencies of how to run a country. Obama learned well, he just learned all the wrong things! One would think he was un-American and un-Christian! Naw!!! He says he is a Christian and a real patriot. From what I hear, he has not joined a church since he left the hate speech filled church of the Reverend Wright! The press loves him! They also love all leftists and hate all conservatives and especially Christian conservatives. When will we ever learn?
