| | '''California''' is an illustration of the failure of [[liberal]] policies, as the State is virtually insolvent, has one of the worst educational systems in the world, and has lost many high-achievers to other states. Known as the Golden State, it became the 31st state on September 9, 1850. It is located on the west coast of the [[United States]], by the [[Pacific Ocean]] and bordered by [[Oregon]], [[Nevada]] and [[Arizona]]. It is the largest state in population but will be surpassed by the more [[conservative]] [[Texas]] by 2050. Its governor is [[Jerry Brown]]. It has served as a poster child for [[liberalism]] , ex. [[Hollywood values]] and [[San Francisco values]] since the 1960s, especially [[Los Angeles]] and [[San Francisco]]. It is estimated that California is now losing an estimated 500,000 people statewide every year.<ref>http://www.ocregister.com/articles/california-330643-year-county.html</ref> | | '''California''' is an illustration of the failure of [[liberal]] policies, as the State is virtually insolvent, has one of the worst educational systems in the world, and has lost many high-achievers to other states.
