 Gov. Newsom and California show why liberals can't be trusted with the economy
Opinion by Nicole Russell, USA TODAY • 31m •


California was once the wonderland where dreams come true. From Disney and Hollywood to its lush landscape and powerful politics, it seemed like a utopia of diversity, forward-thinking ideas and the picture of economic health.

California’s per-capita income and gross domestic product were soaring thanks to a thriving agricultural industry, a booming tech sector and what was then lower unemployment rates. In 2022, the state had the fifth largest economy in the world, boasting a higher GDP than most developed countries.
 
More millionaires lived in California than ever before with data showing their number grew 66% from 2019 to 2021.
 
As California slowly adopted more progressive policies, even right-wing America had to nod to its thriving economy.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
