| This page needs more specific claims that liberal policies were responsible for economic downturn in CA. For instance, in the one reference below, the commenter first implies that free education is something that will cause the government to "eventually run out of money". Also, a fact-check on "releasing violent offenders to save money" would be good. |
The Myth
| Myth: Liberal policies ruined California's economy. |
Examples
- "I believe you are mistaken about Cali [being the world's 8th largest economy]. Cali is in severe financial trouble. In fact they are releasing violent offenders from prison to save money. Not sure where you are getting your facts from but everything i read states that Cali was doing really well in the late 90's but now they are really struggling." [1]
Reality
California had an economic crisis along with the rest of the world during the 2008 worldwide recession, and recovered as the US economy in general did.
