Really? Where did you find that info? When I did so looking just day before yesterday I found that CA is running about a 1.6 BILLION dollar deficit.
They have 12% of the US population and absorbs the single biggest chunk of the nations welfare. They have a total number of people on assistance that exceeds the TOTAL of 44 other states.
You have to look at numbers. Yes other states have a higher percentage of that states population on assistance (high side is a tad over 40% but only about 850,000 people) while CA has millions on welfare. Spending by state can be found here: https://www.usgovernmentspending.com/compare_state_spending_2017b40a. CA gets the single biggest chunk of welfare. Remember, 50% of 2 is 1 while 5% of 100 is 5. So me saying that state X has 40 of it's population on assistance doesn't mean that those numbers are really high. You can state numbers/percentages to make something look better or worse to suit the agenda you are pushing. For example, highway deaths. They are somewhere north of 35,000 a year in the US but amount to less than 1% of the population. Something like .001%. Now if you tried pushing for safer roads/laws ECT saying that .001% died last year you wouldn't get far. So you use the numbers. SO you don't even say "over 35,000" you say "almost 40,000".
Another thing to look at in CA is movement. CA is losing about 500,000 people a year more than they are gaining. Most leaving are educated and have jobs. Most moving in have nothing except a dream. Also companies are fleeing CA right now. One of the most common destinations is TX.
Kinda like MN had a lot of industry at one time. Then a certain political group got in control, taxes went nuts and companies fled the state.
Gotta remember that the former president in calling for higher taxes and raising the minimum wage claimed that almost 50% of America is on government assistance. If you were drawing SS payments you were counted as being on assistance. Really? You paid in and now they are calling it welfare? Actual numbers drawing some type of public assistance is about 35%.

Today's Featured Article - Fire in the Field A hay fire is no laughing matter-well, maybe one was! And a good life-lesson, too. Following World War II many farm boys returned home both older and wiser. One such man was my employer the summer I was sixteen. He was a farmer by birth and a farmer by choice, and like many returning soldiers, he was our silent hero: without medals or decorations, but with a certain ability to survive. It was on his farm that I learned to use the combination hand clutch and brake on a John D
