Its not just that CA lost a larger number of jobs during the recession, it lost more jobs adjusted for its population then states that didn't do as much to increase the cost of employment. To be fair though a lot of CA's polices, while harmful, were not as harmful as those who opposed them made them out to be. They created negative factors, but where just some of many factors, negative, positive, and uncertain. The fact that something is a bad policy doesn't mean "enact it and disaster is around the corner". "Cal is the next Greece"? I never said that. For all that CA's government, and the federal government do to add costs or otherwise harm the economy, CA and the US have a lot going for them which Greece doesn't have.
