[quote=EconProf]Californians are also fleeing to….Mexico.
CalWatchdog.com, a site I would recommend to all Piggs, has great articles specific to CA’s economy and politics.
It has a current piece about how Mexico’s economy is so thoroughly outperforming America’s by many measures. Unemployment of 5% vs. CA’s 10%, for starters (though probably tainted by measurement differences)

Mexico’s 5% unemployment rate sounds impressive until you dig a little deeper. This will help put it in perspective.
“Historically, from 2000 until 2012, Mexico Unemployment Rate averaged 3.7 Percent reaching an all time high of 5.9 Percent in May of 2009 and a record low of 2.2 Percent in November of 2002.”
