A new report from the United Ways of California shows that 35% of households across the state – more than 3.8 million – don’t earn enough to cover basic living expenses.

    Ok so you missed the point.

    Democrats have been in charge for 30+ years. They’ve been in charge and helped create these problems. Do you think they will fix them?

    Republicans didn’t get CA into this mess, Democrats did.

      What a moronic, trolling response. These problems aren’t unique to California nor any other state. It’s a national issue. If Republicans are the “poverty saviors” like you claim, then why are all the poorest states red states? CA has the 5th largest economy in the world FFS.

      I see you’re the same “FreedomAdvocate” from that other post where you were arguing that it’s imperative that the government lock citizens away in a mental institution without any sort of due process. So much for “freedom,” eh? That really highlights what you’re really all about, which is spreading right-wing propaganda and disinformation.

        You not being able to understand that the question was answered doesn’t mean it wasn’t answered.

            You: “CA is fucked”

            Me: “CA has been run by democrats for 30 years, maybe it’s time for a change?”

            You: “You think republicans would be better?”

            Me: “Democrats have gotten you in this position, so…”

            You: “ANSWER THE QUESTION!”

            Come on mate, the question has been answered. How do you not see that?

      You’re the one who missed the point.

      Landlords and the system treats housing as a profitable investment is the cause of high costs of living. This happens everywhere in the US. Cities where people want to live in the reddest of the red states have the exact same cost of living problems. Its a fundamental problem that is inherent to for-profit real estate.

      Neither party wants to dismantle that system. Your solution is not a solution. High cost of living cannot be solved by switching to the other current political party.

        20 years, oh well you showed me. They’re definitely the ones to blame for the current situation. Better keep voting for the current lot, they’ll fix it this time im sure.
