What happened to California? It has the highest poverty rate & worst in education

[Lakers]

Well among the worst. It's 42-47th in education.

This state used to be in fantastic shape with fantastic schools, ranking towards the top of the nation. Poverty was something that seemed a million miles away in the redneck states and on the east coast. Now nearly 40% of the nation's welfare goes into Cali and it's at the bottom in education, trailing most hillbilly states, has the highest real poverty rate, most racially segregated schools and very high crime.

What in the hell happened to the state everybody used to be jealous of?

Mexicans.

Mexicans.

They categorized it by white, black, and latino for all states.

Please show me when they ranked top 15 in poverty and education.

State has always been too big. I wouldn't be surprised if they always had problems.

We let a movie star run the state, and it's massive. As dumb as the idea to split California into 5 states is, California should probably be 2 states

Largely Democratic state. No enforcement of its Southern border.


So when a state is overrun by illegals from all over Central and South America, of course you'll have a high poverty and poor education rate.

Just 2 states would never work, Orange County and San Diego wouldn't want to join with Los Angeles, and the Bay Area and Central Valley DEFINITELY would never want to be weighed down by LA.

Mexicans.

In an already shitty public school system full of unionized lazy teachers, Kids are in overcrowded bi-lingual classrooms, trying to learn while the teachers are spending all their time with the Mexican kids who can't speak the language. It's been going on for quite a while.

You've really jumped the shark. Jobless? YouTube all day?

California has the 8th largest economy in the world, I hardly think it is poor. There are poor people and poor areas, but this is a reality when a place is a destination. Bums don't flock to Maine for a better life.

[masonanddixon]

Blacks and Mexicans are what happened.

[tomtucker]

illegals and legals.......same shit

[bdreason]

It's a welfare state. All the illegals and homeless move here for the good weather.
