Phil Willon has the latest Los Angeles Times coverage of the proposal to split California.
Accusation nothing. It's demonstrable fact.
Yeah, that's largely it.
Out of all of the things in California, especially with Jerry Brown, they are calling this a laughable political stunt?
Uh, look, California Democrats shouldn't be talking about what is a ridiculous waste of everybody's time.
And a lot of people are doing that, genius.
The article goes on to point out that there have been hundreds of attempts to break up California before, and since they all failed, this has little chance of working. Unfortunately, it is next to impossible. But something big must happen. California simply can't continue the way it is going. Only so many unskilled, dependent and career criminal illegal aliens and their citizen offspring can be accommodated. The state government can only grow so large before the private sector will literally be unable to support it. The social engineering can only go so far before too many of the normal people are driven away. The nanny state regulations can only get so restrictive before widespread civil disobedience and exodus paralyzes the state.
Accusing Sacramento of pillaging local governments to feed its runaway spending and left-wing policies, a Riverside County politician is proposing a solution: He wants 13 mostly inland, conservative counties to break away to form a separate state of "South California."
Accusation nothing. It's demonstrable fact.
Supervisor Jeff Stone, a Republican pharmacist from Temecula, called California an "ungovernable" financial catastrophe from which businesses are fleeing and where taxpayers are being crushed by the burden of caring for welfare recipients and illegal immigrants.
Yeah, that's largely it.
A spokesman for Gov. Jerry Brown, a Democrat, called Stone's proposal a laughable political stunt, saying the Riverside County supervisors should be more concerned about closing that county's expected $130-million revenue shortfall in the next budget year and possible cutbacks to public safety.
Out of all of the things in California, especially with Jerry Brown, they are calling this a laughable political stunt?
"It's a supremely ridiculous waste of everybody's time," said spokesman Gil Duran.
Uh, look, California Democrats shouldn't be talking about what is a ridiculous waste of everybody's time.
"If you want to live in a Republican state with very conservative right-wing laws, then there's a place called Arizona."
And a lot of people are doing that, genius.
