California’s economic situation!

Which is still a poverty wage. The minimum wage should be high enough that anyone getting it cannot qualify for income-determinant assistance programs.




You seem to be making it all up as you go.

He wants to eliminate the minimum wage. He thinks a living minimum wage hurts Blacks the most. It's one logic I will never understand.

What I find is that most Conservative arguments are circular, perpetual motion machines of entitlement and laziness.

They say that deficits and debts are a problem, yet all their tax cuts do is increase deficits and debt.
They say that they oppose abortion, yet they oppose free contraception, birth control, and sex education which would all reduce the number of abortions
They complain about welfare, yet oppose raising the minimum wage, which would reduce the amount spent on welfare

Most of what Conservatives complain about are problems of their own making; I think they do so just so they can be a part of the conversation.

They do it because they are racist cowards.

The wont say what they really mean so they drum up stupid "circular" arguments to pretend they aren't racist.

Bottom line, from the beginning, they never wanted their tax dollars to help Blacks. It's still that way today they just package it in a nice little bow for Americans to unwrap.
They don't want Blacks educated
Nor do they want Blacks to have babies

They never wanted slavery to end.

Japan is about the size of Montana with a very dense population. Given the inept morons that build the high speed rails in the US today, the cost structure doesn't make sense.

There's no good paying blue collar jobs anywhere. CA has a much higher standard of living than the rest of the country. Leaving CA for opportunities elsewhere is perfectly reasonable; but the state's economy is growing and it leads the nation in job creation since raising taxes in 2012. Also, it's unemployment rate is now 4.3%, which suggests there's a tightening in the labor market there because they're near full-employment. But what's happening in CA for the middle class is happening elsewhere, not just blue states. The problem is that wages haven't risen even as the labor market tightens. Now, why would that be the case?

Yet the unemployment rate nationwide is at 3.8%. Which suggests CA is lagging. CA doesn't have a higher 'standard' of living. It has a higher COST of living. There is a difference.

Democrats controlled the state congress all through Arnold's time in office, no different than today. California relies heavily on personal income tax and cap gains from the top one percent. When the economy is good we boom, when it's not we suffer. You act like Arnold came in and tried to upend how the state was run when he did nothing of the sort. The economy is going to turn while Gavin is governor and Dems control state congress and California will suffer. Are you going to be saying the same thing then that you are now?

Don't expect the rape apologizing leg humper to be honest. It isn't going to happen. Next he will tell you Illinois is in trouble all because of Republicans.

Not at all. CA is near full-employment and given where they were 8 years ago, with an unemployment rate around 12%, 4.3% is remarkable. Thanks, Obama.

Which completely ignores what I stated. CA IS lagging the nation. The national unemployment rate is 3.8%. you stated it was 4.3% in CA. That means they are LAGGING the national average.
 
LV426 said:
Should be noted that 5 of those 12 years are 2013-2017. And now CA has a super-majority of Democrats and has had that since 2013. It's no coincidence that as they gained super-majority control, the state's fortunes have turned around.

Again. You completely miss the point of the post. Are you that intellectually dishonest that you continue doing so? or are you an idiot?

Her claim was that Republicans controlled the Senate and House in CA under Arnold. That is blatantly false.

Kudos to you for recognizing that some of the years in the band quoted are actually in the band quoted. I had no idea that 2013-1017 would fall under the range of 1992-2017. You are amazing for recognizing that.

Then so is Texas. Their unemployment rate is 4.0%, which is higher than the national average.

Republicans did not control the legislature, but they did control the power to stop legislation from moving forward. Maybe that's what they meant? I don't know, I'm not in their head.

It just proves that since gaining full, super-majority control, Democrats have turned CA into one of the best performing states. Since gaining super-majority of Democrats, CA's GDP growth has outpaced the country's.

Hold on a second! You jumped on CA's higher unemployment rate as somehow indicative of a struggling CA economy, then when it's pointed out that TX's unemployment rate is also higher than the national average, you jump to a non-sequitur.

Why?
