The Sad State Of California In One Post

Over at The Ace Of Spades, Maetenloch sums up the craziness of California's state legislature in one post.
And some of them I have highlighted.
One that was mentioned I recently highlighted is the push to ban styrofoam containers.
But a couple have slipped under the Right View From The Left Coast headquarters.
The one on essentially killing parents hiring babysitters. Hell, unionizing is not far behind.
Then there is the wanting all hotels and motels to use fitted sheets. So that the maids are not overworked. And also must provide long-handled mops for said maids.
In the upcoming holiday weekend, it is time for your humble blogger to go in depth on these new cases of lunacy from Sacramento.
Until then, from the link at Ace, Victor Davis Hanson sums up what is wrong with this state:

California sits in a time warp. Despite tax hikes that make our roughly 10% income tax and 10% sales tax among the highest in the nation, there is little to show for it during the last forty years.
A contemporary culture that cannot finish a forty-year-old planned three-lane freeway from Sacramento to Bakersfield has no business borrowing tens of billions to attempt a new high-speed rail corridor. It is characteristic of our present generation to dream and talk wildly of the non-essential as penance for neglecting the very doable and necessary. ...An entire generation that had once defined itself in opposition to “them” has problems when “them” are mostly buried.

Just a note to the rest of the United States. The "Yes We Can" of Team Obama has been incubated here in California. And I think that next year, even we will have had enough.
