I agree JP I do not know what the solution is either. It is an epidemic though not limited to California. It is at every level of govt we have. I would agree with the argument that using other states is a path to success however under closer examination it is intuitively obvious that those states that are not underwater because the differential in the populations are drastically different.
The way this state operates simply does not work and the steady drumbeat of increasing taxes has not solved the problems.
