The gist of this article from Politico is that Obama's tax & spend plan is similar to California's tax and healthcare plan.But with California facing a financial meltdown, is such an example good for the country as a whole.
Most of my like-minded friends don't think so.

Here's what the sponsor of the original e-mail had to say:
One of my favorite things to hear from both East Coast liberals and conservatives is the liberal diatribe about how Prop 13 doomed the state. I particularly love how supposed conservatives around here by into that when they should know better.
Still, and all the article is accurate about high-wage earners leaving the state. I am also particularly bemused by liberals...of the boomer generation who are upset that their materialistic quests for dominance have been limited by the liberalization of California(?) Can they not put two and two together? Especially in regard to the implications on a national level?
And here's Comrade Karla's 2 Rubles:
The joke used to be that it was mostly just northern CA that was right of center...the ascendancy of the Princess Pelosium agenda is making everybody outside of LA/SF look like dynastic Tories....OK, apart from maybe Solvang or Santa Barbara.But still.
I don't think you'll EVER hear serious news coverage about (1) what the D legislature has done over and over again for decades or (2) how the illegal problem is a drain on not only services, but infrastructure (500 families living in areas with utilities/services to handle say 200) or (3) how much $$ the prison system would save if it would (a) execute even a fraction of those on death row and/or (b) deport illegal felons.
Nah, it's all Bush's fault.
