"burgeoning"? roflmao.
i came here quixotically in 1980 and have since contributed as much as anyone through underpaid slave labor. the illegals drive that down even further, but they contribute plenty too.
california natives, bless 'em, don't have that you've-only-lived-here-50-years-so-you're-a-newcomer chip on their shoulders you find around most of the rest of the west.
california's economy collapsed because it was built up by your tax dollar, you stupid redneck, spreading the 'burbs far and wide by means of a monster machine called aerospace. they laid everyone off by the tens of thousands 15 years ago, and now we're trying to be a little village, scratching each other's backs for spare change. we could learn a lot from the networking that goes on in a good mormon town.
"the police at the port of entry say
you're number fourteen thousand for today ...
california is a garden of eden
a paradise to live in or see
but believe it or not
you won't find it so hot
if you ain't got the do-re-mi."
--woody guthrie, 1930s

It was a combination of aerospace and silicon valley that caused Cali to grow at an unreasonable rate. Now, all the silicon valley jobs have been exported to China and aerospace is undersupported by the combination of the "new" NASA and Defense Department.

California also has twice as many regulatory agencies as the maximum number of any other state.
That has to be responsible for a lot of the budget problems in hard times, I would think:
