ParticipantYeah, I agree. The question is phrased poorly, but it calls out the unfair comparisons our state of California has suffered in recent years to states like Texas and Nevada that were pro-business and laissez-faire about regulation and taxation.
The conventional wisdom was, if you want to be prosperous (California), you need to be like Texas.
Or some shit like that.
Well, it turns out the rosy finances in places like Texas / Nevada were largely smoke and mirrors.
Texas has a bigger deficit problem than California as a percentage of revenue or gross economic product.

ParticipantThat’s great, tg. Thanks for posting.
Got everything except difference between Brown’s last budget and this one.
California is really not that bad off. Problems are serious, but we also have an enormous economy.
Meh? I want to see tax reform, less avoidance and some sort of policy adjustments that flatten out the receipts from year to year.
Also, support Education. It’s a big reason why CA is a great state.
