If people had only been paying attention to what was going on in California, they would have seen the writing on the wall. 40 years of Democratic control has destroyed this state. It was easy to see there methods were not working yet the lemmings here followed in there foot steps. We have some of the most fertile land in the world for agriculture in the Center of California, yet we import a ton of our food into this state and have built over the top of these areas. We produced tech innovation here, but produced the product in other countries. The companies that had created the boom in California with there innovations have and are leaving the state since it has become to expensive to base headquarters here. Now that disease has spread across the US. As soon as we became a 3 party broker for others goods starting about 25 to 30 years ago we lost any edge we had in not being dependent on anyone else for what we really needed. Now look where we are.
