As taxed as California is, they are simply using more money than they are taking
in. All of the hand outs/entitlement programs are killing the state, so taxes are raised and
jobs move out of the state.... as some jobs leave, so do employees. As employees leave, so does their tax money.
California is a perfect example as to how you cannot spend yourself out of debt.
There is an inability for people in politics (governors, mayors more locally) to make difficult calls regarding spending.
