“As you might expect, these intrusions into the public’s lives have done little to improve California’s economic situation. Every new initiative costs the state more money, and those costs are either passed on to the public in the form of new taxes and fees, or simply piled onto the state’s massive debt – a debt that now exceeds that of the entire nation of Greece. What’s happening in California is, unfortunately, not simply an isolated problem. Many in the U.S. Congress have shown a willingness to continue attacking freedoms we previously took for granted.”
