Pretending this will solve our problems is the delusion those you mention are brainwashed into believing, so they laugh it off, as if California will be fine because everyone wants to live here. As if our state defaulting is ‘inconceivable’.
Bi-partisan politics has blinded people into complacency as long as their party is in power, but what they fail to understand is the party doesn’t matter. It’s the system that’s broke. Voting new people in may help, but the system needs an overhaul.
I can’t say for certain if or when our state will fail, but as bad as it is, this new budget will only make things worse. Anyone who disagrees with that will have a hard time coming up with the $100 billion in taxes the state spends if they’re the last one living here.
