California was going broke when Arnold was in charge. That the enormous wealth generated by the tech industry which leads to ordinary people being priced out of a decent living is somehow the fault of Democrats would be funny if it weren't so stupid. The basis of this crisis is that the economy is booming along, but ordinary people derive no benefit. Wages have been stagnant for decades. All the gains accrue to those already wealthy. Republicans won't touch this issue for fear of offending their donor-handlers. Democrats may not have all the answers, but they acknowlege the problem. It won't ever be solved without a bipartisan effort.
