Is it any wonder Liberal states like my California are in such a disasterous state?

It is Liberalism at its finest. The biggest issue in California is to use the legal system to change the definition of a word. That is what is important there while the state which has the 7th largest economy in the world is facing serious crisis. Liberals live in a fantasy world and real problems are not real to them. They fantasize about large sums of money in the hands of the rich that they will somehow take to solve their problems. But the problems only get worse.
