Newsom: ‘Trump is scared of California,’ the ‘most un-Trump state in America’

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) said Monday that President Trump is “scared of California,” calling it the “most un-Trump state in America.” Newsom was responding to Trump’s State of the Unio…

He'll be even more scared when Corona Chan runs herself through the many that live there.

I mean I'd be terrified of California too, with that many homeless people living in bad conditions? God only knows when a disease outbreak is going to happen there that spreads to the rest of the country/world.

California has a high Hotel load. It is HELLA expensive to live here. Basically, CA spends a LOT of money in a good year keeping people afloat. We are one major economic downturn from the bulk of the state budget going to social services to keep people from starving in the streets.

Oh....yeah really?

Were essentially on the edge of bankruptcy after years of over promising pensions for our government workers that bill is coming due and there absolutely no way we can pay that shit off.

Seriously the tax base cant do it, we will have to face that fact soon, that isn't even going into our massive homelessness problem, our continuing water woos, the fact that we have stupidly destroyed our own ability to generate power....I mean yeah were not a good poster child at all.

Honestly California never fails to stun me in it's grandeur and incompetence. I've lived all across the US and nowhere is as nice and rich in resources as California. They have massive natural harbors perfectly situation for trade, immense rivers, valleys with thirty feet of super-fertile topsoil, abundant exploitable mineral resources, multiple fantastic tourism draws, some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, extremely pleasant weather across most of the state, and a ready source of cheap foreign labor on the other side of a fairly porous border.

All those benefits, things other states would kill to have a small fraction of, and California can't manage to keep itself functioning. It's like seeing a lottery winner with a "Will work for food" sign at the intersection because they can't manage to budget well enough to keep eating on a mere million dollars a year.

 

[Scottty]

The ruling elite there live in their own feelgood bubble, where any contrary fact gets filtered out?

 

[TriforcedLink]

The fact some people think Cali could sustain itself with its current incompetent government and dependency on the rest of the nation to sustain their lifestyle is absolutely hilarious.

 

[Urabrask Revealed]

What is it with the claim California isn't a drain on the USA, but rather its surrounding republican neightbor states anyway...?

Leftists flee California's chaos and dysfunction, move into neighboring red states like Nevada/Idaho/Colorado... and promptly vote for the exact same policies that destroyed their home state. They are ideologically forbidden to notice this pattern, or anything really.

You think its frustrating where you live? I have to deal with this crap every day.

Actually, the unfunded pension liabilities are manageable if governments stop kicking the can down the road and instead give CalPers marching orders to make money. 2019 was a good year for their portfolios, and sound money management could do a lot to close the gap.

The danger is dumbass liberal politicians playing politics by using CalPers as a liberal slush fund by requiring they invest in lefty pipe dreams instead of anything that can make enough money.

Investing in Lefty Pipe Dreams like a “wider audience” by abandoning and spitting on and accusing your former audience is something they can’t stop doing, once you start, they can’t stop doing it

I’m not sure how this mentality is reversed

And I’m pretty sure any and all failures will be blamed on detractors

They’re gonna say it’s all the fault of Trump and his supporters that California and it’s like have failed, they should have “given a little”

It's easily reversed.

Use their money.

If there is one constant in American politics, lefties get conservative as hell in their personal behaviors.

The most effective cure for leftists is to make leftists adhere to their own ideology, especially when it comes to their money.

They run away from those consequences again and again though

Some even get “forgiven” like Stephen King

A lot of programs could be more easily funded if politicians (particularly the Democrats) stopped treating their budgets like slush funds. Unfortunately, that sort of behavior is depressingly common in politics. For example, my city keeps voting to increase our police department's budget so they could hire more officers; but they never do, and the city council always refuses to talk about what happened to the money they were supposed to use for that purpose.

I don't know exactly what claims you're reacting to, but one perpetual issue for it's neighbors is Cali's tendency to use it's political might to force treaties granting it neighboring state's resources and especially their water. California is a tremendously thirsty state and it has a long history of arranging agreements to give itself it's neighbor's water. In the Colorado Compact, for instance, California not only takes the lion's share, they take anybody else's share if so much as a drop isn't accounted for and took vastly more than that before the SCOTUS came down on them, so much so that at one point Arizona actually briefly commissioned themselves a brown-water navy to patrol the Colorado river and stop California from stealing all their water.

They claim that California pays for the welfare, infrastructure, and everything that requires taxes of every red state in the USA. Which is obviously bullshit, but they repeat it like Gospel canon.

sad thing is it isn't nessary for us to act like parasites like that.

We are right next to the ocean, reverse osmosis tech is getting better and better we could be water independent if we stopped wasting money on stupid shit and told the greenes to go fuck themselves.

It's colonialism, extracting wealth and resources from the undeserving masses of republicans.
