They used to call California "The Golden State." That was before the modern Democratic Party got a hold of it.
This, from Matt Margolis writing at PJ Media:
Despite all the wealth in the state and the Democrat control of state government, California actually ranks as the poorest state in the country after costs of living are factored in. A whopping 19 percent of Californians live below the poverty line. While California represents just 12 percent of the nation's population, Californians represent a third of all Americans on welfare. The average monthly cost of rent in the state is 43 percent higher than the national average. Nearly a third of Californians spend more than half of their earnings on housing. The situation is made worse by skyrocketing energy costs. "Residents who can afford rent or a mortgage are on the hook for electricity rates burdened by green initiatives and regulation that grew 500 percent faster than the national average from 2011 to 2017."
Some of these stats are mind-boggling.

They must like being poor because they keep voting for Democrats.
There is nothing stating the cost of the illegals in that sanctuary state.
Democrats make the ENTIRE country poorer, except for THEMSELVES. Vote Republican!!
Hahaha, what a crock of crap. California economy is leading the nation.
All because California has some of the best weather in all of the country. Easier to be poor when you don't have to pay heating bills. No matter what, nobody freezes to death in Southern California.
