[quote=luchabee]Likely, we will have a 15% unemployment rate in CA when all is said and done, if we are not already there. California is our test case for the US as a whole and our new regulatory, tax and spend state. The only thing keeping the federal government propped up is our ability to print and borrow money. This will stop soon, unfortunately.
Liberal policies are predicated on the idea that American businesses are what they once were, but with globalism, we really don’t have much anymore. So, like GM and California, liberals have killed our competitiveness and the nation as a whole is next. In sum, globalism would have turn us into England inevitably (no significant manufacturing base, etc.), but liberalism helped to get us there a whole lot quicker.
Likely, sdgirl, you have never employed anyone in CA or met a payroll . . . So you may have not thought about all the burdens to running a business in the US and CA under Democrat rule.[/quote]
I have.
Its not that tough.It just requires that you be competitive and fork over the money for quickbooks and turbotax.
Most business owners who are complaining about how hard it is should go to some place like Europe or Japan where the gov’t subsidizes crappy companies as a matter of ongoing policy (rather than a special bailout). Weeding these pussies out is part of the reason that California’s economy can compete with most of Europe’s.
Also, being a Euro-style industrial or post-industrial nation is not such a terrible idea (though I would still prefer to live here).
Neither England (not a nation state by the way), nor Switzerland, nor Germany have particularly crappy standards of living.
It really is more complicated than taking Ayn Rand as gospel.

Ever tried running a small machine shop or done manufacturing, etc? You want to talk about regulation . . .
Obviously, many business owners in CA are not as nimble, as they are fleeing the state, closing shop, letting people go. My sister-in-law just got laid off from a small firm. Another family member of mine let his employees go, as the compliance and taxes didn’t warrant their continued employment and the burden managing them. Out in the I.E., we may approach a 20% real unemployment rate, but the CA legislature is doing nothing to promote growth. In fact, after the largest tax increase in history, they still want to increase taxes.
From my perspective, a taste of what is to come from the federal government. Maybe those millions and millions of green jobs will save us though? I’ve always wanted a windmill on top of my car.

The is of course a huge middle ground in our foreign policy responses to various crisis. I suppose around here you’re either W (invading Iraq on false pretenses) or you are Chamberlain?
