California is revisiting its not too distant history. The future of the State isn't bright and rosy, in fact, it's downright gloomy.
This can't all be blamed on the recent economic downturn. We've been heading in this direction for ages, and the downturn just brought existing problems to the forefront.
Don't expect any of this to resolve itself anytime soon. We don't have the leadership, nor resolve to get ourselves out of this mess.
It will probably take hitting rock bottom before we begin to put aside our selfish and childish ways and do what needs to be done.
