so the 300K permanently unemployed in January all come from Northern California?

Keep spinnin' those yarns!

Fwiw I agree that tech is the worst industry, and California being the home of tech probably the hardest hit. But the problem is that tech is the future, it is the growth industry that drove the 90s, and the other industries in the US don't have the momentum to pick up the slack. Autos for example, heavy machinery, these industries were propelled by tech spending in the 90s and without a new huge industry they aren't going to boom again. The brokerage business another one.

This is Bush's inadequacy showing itself to the world. Bush shores up "his" industries which tend to be southern, old industries, oil and farming. He gave away the budget to those guys. But they are NOT growth industries! No jobs gonna happen there. He liquidated the treasury for nothing.
