You mean California isn't currently in the throws of economic Armageddon ???
Lol !! You could have fooled me.
They have the Nation's highest poverty rates and count 1/3 of the Nation's Welfare recipients as residents.
It's "throes", not "throws".
And perhaps you should find out how Texas compares to California when it comes to level of educational attainment, percentage of population covered by health insurance, homicide rate, and life expectancy. I distinctly remember a 2011 study showing that 41% of ALL teachers in Texas had second jobs...which shows just how much of a priority Texas places on education.
Then again, ol' "we-love-small-guv'mint" Texas is the same one whose governor just signed a bill into law that prevents local city governments from banning fracking within city limits.... I guess y'all love "small guv'mint"...but only when it suits your purposes.
