Why hasn’t a CA governor become President since President Reagan?

One would think running the country’s largest state would be great training for the job?

@CopperCicada people spit that statistic out all the time. That doesn’t mean a damn thing when they are spending far more than they are making... do you have ANY understanding of economics at all?
@Slappaho the public sector is spending a ton of capital. the private sector is generating a ton of capital.

very different entities.

public sector liabilities are state-wide. private sector capital production is global and pays for a good part of that state spending with high state income tax.

personally every aspect of my work in both the private and public sectors (not california)-- depends on ip and capital generated in that shit hole.

i don't see how the fucked up public sector at all takes away from the success of the private sector that generates like 3T$ of capital with a 70K$ GDP per capita.

@CopperCicada Having a large economy prevents somewhere from being a shithole? Hell, go live in Beijing, rucka. Must be the least shitty place on Earth. Never mind the overbearing smog and toxicity or the low pay and high work hours. It's a huge economy.
