Another idiot, who can't make a point without lying. California's infrastructure was suffering from seriously deferred maintenance before Brown started as Governor. He's basically a pragmatic problem solver with a democratic legislature to back him up, unlike the starve the beast inneffective morons that preceded him.

This is from 2010, before Brown came back to govern California again.

Tom Woods indicated the other day that he had done the deferring, apparently not true.

Seems to me the core problem is the collective bargaining that Moon Beam signed into law in the early 70s

Tom Woods is a crank who believes the Dark Ages were a time of great learning and achievement, among many other stupid things.

A Conservative Catholic with an axe to grind, another Libertarian/Tory who loves the Feudal Era of "Golden Liberty".

And things that our government has actual control of: Education, Business Climate, Municipal Finances, Infrastructure, Income inequality.......

California ranks dead last or near the bottom.

Great job Progs!

Conservatives like me joke with our friends how we have to pay California's dysfunction tax to live in a geographic paradise.

So when are all the conservatives going to take over Sacramento and run the liberal vote out of SF and LA and finally fix all our dysfunction?

We are totally outnumbered. Thanks to foolish Progressive policies, California has seen the fastest and most dramatic demographic shift in modern history.

Our only hope is to split California into smaller and more manageable chunks.

So please consider that we seriously could soon end up in civil war AND LOSE to these right wing nuts. (as it happened in Spain)

The South won the Civil War, which they fought to preserve the ludicrous privileges granted them at the Constitutional Convention in 1791. Between 1791 and 1860 the Virginia landowner was the most privileged of U.S. citizens - the price other citizens paid for keeping agricultural slave states in the union.

Though the war cost them the Three-Fifths Compromise, which had effectively given political power to private property, the South emerged after Reconstruction as a coddled welfare dependent of the federal government.

Today, the red state southerners are a permanently-aggrieved, sensitive and entitled bunch of takers of federal largesse.

Looking at Moon Beam and Marcus, I would say that is not peculiar to South East...

just like the japenese won WWII...judged by majority ownership of far west coast real estate.

I have not seen any evidence of this, how are you arriving at this assertion?

Can't take a while off, eh? Woods is a self-described Traditionalist Catholic:

Editor of "The Latin Mass Magazine" for more than a decade, which is an anti-Secular and anti-Vatican II publication.

Whew, that took all of 15 seconds.
