I live in California.

Your characterization of politicians in CA is right out of the right wing, smear playbook.  The politicians in this state have created an environment that has resulted in an unprecedented development of: capital creation, scientific innovation, economic development, and increase in wealth - maybe the greatest that the world has ever experienced. California is the cradle of: the movie industry, the birth place of the computer/hi-tech industry, the biotech industry, and the web-based industries.  What are we - the 7th biggest economy in the world!  In his second stint as governor, famous right wing whipping boy, moonbeam Jerry Brown, cleaned up the fiscal mess that, the Gropinator, Arnold Schwarzenegger and others left us in.  Jerry just retired from politics and he left us with a $21 billion state surplus; despite Trump’s tax bill that forces CA and NY to further subsidize the low tax Red welfare states. Jerry is a true fiscal conservative – my kind of politician!  All while, protecting our clean water, clean air, worker and lifestyle rights. CA was also, among many other popular social changes, the origin of the non-smoking in public places; one of civilization’s great recent achievements.

Your politicians may suck - but not ours.
