The outsourcing/offshoring problem is bigger than that. An engineer in India will be able to work for 1/8th of what companies pay in California. Now, even in your favorite state of Texas with its zero taxes and high pollution (not to mention the ****ing heat), it cannot be that low. The same is true of manufacturing jobs that are gone now. However low your wages are, you can't possibly beat someone in China who is willing to work for an entire day for a bowl of rice.

It sounds like the Democrats are applying a "scorched California" policy. By their lunatic logic they look better if they can leave the state in ruin hoping that the next Republican will look bad trying to fix the mess. Then they'll apply the same old tactic which is to find any little trivial detail, turn it into a rant mantra and hope that the rhetoric will resonate in the weak minds of their zombies. The thing is, people are growing tired of the Democrat lies and spin cycle. Democrats have become so desperate for attention that they have tipped their hand. They have shown that they are the party of hate-mongers and division. Democrats are becoming obsolete.
