'''California''', known as the Golden State, 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 it is projected to be surpassed by the more [[conservative]] [[Texas]] by the end of the [[21st century]]. Its governor is [[Gavin Newsom]].

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, especially [[Texas]].  The gap between rich and poor in California is more severe than anywhere, and homelessness is epidemic.

California and [[New York]]'s [[Leftism]] has an outsized influence among the leadership in [[Congress]], at the expense of the [[Midwest]] which the two coasts continue to harm in policies.  [[Kamala Harris]], as backup to the demented [[Joe Biden]], is also from California and could loot the Midwest further through distorted policies.
