The state had 33 million pop. I'm pretty much in agreement with Stevie that the state has to get back to a reasonable budget, lay off more state employee's and not ask for more taxes. Increased taxes only lead to larger budgets and more non- ending spending. More employee's means more pensions. Just look at where the job increases are, and look at the percentage of increase in California spending since Schwartzenegger became governor; I think that we may have been better-off keeping Grey Davis, and I'm a Republican. We have to get rid of our corrupt politicians and push back the Unions. I believe that we won't see good times for at least 5 years. Fortunately, I'm retired. Proposition 13 is not the probem, nor is the 2/3 majority to increase taxes, the problem is spending, and until our politicians come to that conclusion progress will be slow, if at all. Happy 2010 to all. What happened to the other 5 million people, did they move to other states. The state had 33 million pop.
