Zim,

The article on the Huffington/Puffington fake news website that OCU referenced was fantasized by Robert Reich. Robert Reich, like Paul Krugman, is a pathetic joke who can't think his way out of a wet paper bag. For Reich and Krugman, the abounding and undeniable facts of life that easily and consistently dispute and destroy their beloved pseudo-religion of Socialism are mindlessly ignored by them as if they do not exist.

OCU> According to conservative doctrine, Kansas and Texas ought to be booming, and California ought to be in the pits.


Let me see . . .

California . . .

California's economy is on fire, but the state's finances are facing the cold reality of a revenue slowdown.

Zim: how does this work . . . booming economy with
dropping tax revenues?

Texas . . .

. . . . .

Zim: Here is a site trying to rate the States by fiscal responsibility. Note that Texas and Kansas are
'average' while Californica is below average.

Economic growth: Texas, California and revisions

http://thehill.com/blogs/congress-blog/economy-a-budget/307111-economic-growth-texas-california-and-revisions

By Chuck DeVore - 06/24/13
The BEA revised California’s real GDP growth downward from 2009 to 2011 in each of three years by a cumulative 2.6 percent, the third-largest negative revision in the nation.

. . .
By contrast, the BEA revised Texas’ growth upward by 0.5 percent from 2009 to 2011.

Texas’ newly revised real GDP growth from 2009 to 2012 was 13 percent.

From 2009 to 2012, California’s share of the U.S. economy shrank from 13.1 percent to 12.9 percent while Texas’ portion of the American economy increased from 8.2 percent to 9 percent.

What was that, OCU?
