California... Has the most Poor of any state in the nation

[reflechissez]

@Cynic

More ■■■■■■■■■ both sides to whip out GDP numbers like its some dick waving contest and that is driven by population growth. The current immigration debate has other roots I disagree with, but If I had a magic wand that would stop general population growth I would use it.

If the population doesn’t grow, neither does the the economy. Check out Japan.

The insatiable need for growth will be our inevitable demise.

You can characterize however you want, but the economy will not grow if the populations doesn’t grow.

Doesn’t California have the most of just about everything?

@Cratic3947

And the poorest state in the nation

Incorrect. This is your thread, how do you get that wrong?

[Cynic]

Why does the economy need to grow? Is there some point it doesn’t, or are we going to go for a trillion people in the US?

That’s a bunch of BS, it’s all about housing.

California is so great that people want to live here even when they cannot afford housing? Wow.

All you have to do is move to Arizona and the cost of a house drops by more than half.

Oddly, people don’t want to make that choice.

[Cynic]

Exactly. 10

@Cynic

Total misrepresentation, it is not the “poorest state in the nation”, you are looking at one single measure, by dozens of others (income, GDP, etc…) it is one of the strongest.

But even just with poverty, it is far from the worst by many measures; no one is surprised that homeless flock to the sunshine state with a climate that facilitates it, and no ■■■■ a state like North Dakota has very few.

Get out of here with your propaganda. Go make a thread about Venezuela or something.

You are fooled because you don’t understand the cost of living varies from state to state so, the federal poverty line is a useless measure. If you make 20K in a state where homes cost 60K, you are doing better than someone making 50k in a state where homes cost 500k…

Math is hard for the left… It’s why they are leftist, if they are not just evil.

So build up everywhere? No thanks.

You’d rather have the poverty, then… Although there is tons of open space in Cal.

Cratic goes on record stating that roads should be built in open space in California…you know…those open spaces where no one lives or needs to drive to.

The medicare and SS programs are based on an ever increasing population. A contradiction I noticed years ago.

How do you think cities got there in the first place? See FDR too.

They got the most money of any state too

@Smyrna

Let’s just call California a liberal social experiment. I mean…this is what libs want for the nation? Didn’t Governor Brown declare California a sanctuary state? The new prospective lib governor is running on free health care for illegal aliens…paid for by the tax payers. Seriously…I don’t get it.

And Kansas is the con-servative social experiment.

Once again you are easily proven wrong, why don’t you even attempt to know the truth before spouting ■■■■■■■■■

3 times no thank you

Northern Arizona is awesome (I personally need the ocean near me though).

[Vigilante]

@Cynic

Northern Arizona is awesome.

More for you then. Nice place to visit. And I have.

[Cynic]

No problem, I go there often (for those that think all of Arizona is desert):
