At least we in California have a healthy economy because we are a blue state, in which people pay for government to provide for long-term investments in infrastructure and education, which greedy capitalists will not, and we provide a safety net for victims of capricious capitalists that you think reds are God's gift to Humanity and can do no wrong.Is your economy healthy or is your economy unable to keep up and support all the bills associated with its blue government these days and unable to employ enough people in your state these days.
Yes we do, and "freedom" does not in any way consist of a choice to own military weapons which only the military should use.
CA is solvent right now, probably because property tax revenues are so high; at least I think so, given the sky high property values. Unbelievable. Most Bay Area houses cost over a million and apartment rents are $2-3000 per month. Unemployment is low in prosperous areas, but poverty is high among poor and immigrant populations in poor central valley (generally Republican) areas, and there's homelessness because of the high housing costs everywhere.
We have strict gun laws, but the 2nd amendment still applies, so criminals and would-be criminals who aren't criminals yet can still get guns and kill people, like a teen football player yesterday in the Bay Area and several others today. Cops still get shot too, and cops still shoot people. It's still America. Real Americans support gun control and gun bans because real Americans don't want to see a bar fight become a shooting of a little girl like what happened in Texas this week. Real Americans are more concerned about so many people being shot dead for no reason, instead of whether they can shoot a deer or not instead of going to the grocery store.
