Well thats Cali for you man that state you live in has and will always be like that, a liberal welfare state. Not sure its much better anywhere else though thats the big diff this time around the economy is bad all over. The economy is good here but I'm guessing its good around any military base this size. Might be time for a move man just the cost of living diff is worth getting out of Cali. I guess even though they voted for it, it will be your fault when no one shows up when they dial 911.
