| Demographics: Just as baby boomers are reaching retirement or fleeing the state, a dearth of children threatens to turn the Golden State into the golden years state with potentially dire economic consequences.California was once a leader where the "next big thing" would happen and then migrate to the rest of the country. With an economy among the world´s largest if it were a separate country, it in a sense still is, having already gone over its own fiscal cliff, beset by low growth, high taxes and regulations, an exodus of business and population

Don´t they mean "Donde estan los bambinos!" Meaning the bambinos are in California, just don´t expect them to contribute much...muchos are reared by their parents to habla espanol and be takers.

School enrollment is down, yet the voters just passed a huge tax hike (they don´t think it´s huge, so they´ll have a nice surprise) with Prop 30 to send even more funds to the schools.
Class sizes continue to be large. My son´s 2nd grade class has 25 kids in it. We´re lucky, we´re in an excellent school district, I´m sure it´s worse in places like LA and Oakland.
They are hiring administrators at a record clip and sticking illegals into the system to bump up the numbers. It´s a huge scam. Yet California is home to rabid, religious Democrats and they will never, ever question what these "leaders" tell them. Never. The state is a never ending train wreck and I really don´t see how it´s ever going to be fixed.

CA has sent the children out of state for College and to establish roots as expats. Now the parents will leap frog , too. I just hope they leave their ultra lib agenda behind. New Hampshire is ruined by MA dims and VT got trashed by NYC. The lib plague is far flung.

Too many distractions.
The last time I checked, while there are many combinations of sexual organs and orifices providing sexual relief, there is only one combination also likely to produce offspring.

#8, you think a class of 25 kids is large? No wonder school taxes are so outrageous. I don´t think my kids ever set foot in a class that small, and I certainly didn´t, back in the olden days.

Pretty clever of Brown putting a tax increase on a ballot measure.Obviously,there´s more than enough non taxpaying,benefit grabbers in the state to win on this.
The left also wants to project that Brown´s tax increases solved all their fiscal problems and that should be a trendsetter across the country.
Since we stole Cal. from the Mexicans,the least we can do is give them a place to live.Who cares if their high school drop out rate is around 50%?Of course if you´re lucky enough to cash in ona dream act you can cruise your way through college for 8-10 years.

We didn´t steal California from the Mexicans. But unfortunately, the Mexicans (not American citizens of Mexican descent, but the illegals) are stealing all the taxpayer money and jobs. They get government checks (easier than citizens do and more money too!) AND work multiple jobs. Sometimes they work under the table but a lot don´t have to. They are still allowed to work if they can get a certain card (and they don´t even have to be here legally). There are also a lot of employers now who only hire hispanics--no whites allowed. They are companies owned by other hispanics that only give jobs to their own.

The only reason teachers and their unions keep pushing for smaller class sizes is so that they have to add more teachers who in turn have to pay dues to a union.
25 is a small class size. We had 30-35 when I was in school. We had good teachers and got a good education, not an indoctrination.

25 is the standard for my college class. When I went to school, we had two grades per classroom and large classes. I was taught by nuns who kept order and made sure we learned. I remember them with great fondness.

The comparison in the article is to the kids of 1970. Those were the baby boomers, a demographic anomaly that impacted all 50 states.
Today, those baby boomers are retiring, so the percentage of seniors is going up. Mathematically then, there have to be proportionally fewer children as compared to seniors. If this is a California ´dilemma´, then the same has to be true in the other 49 states as well.

Employer spending on benefits rose at the slowest pace on record in the first quarter, as companies began bracing for higher health costs with next year´s launch of ObamaCare.Total benefits, such as insurance and pension contributions, rose just 0.1% vs. the end of last year, the smallest gain in Labor Department data going back to 2001. By comparison, payroll employment grew by a half-million, or 0.4%, in Q1. So benefits-per-worker declined. Total employee benefits provided outside of government jobs declined outright.

Welfare: Not content with having more Americans on food stamps than people in Spain, the Obama administration is ringing the dinner bell for illegal aliens. We´ll feed you and not check your status. As we wrote last July, just as food stamp use has skyrocketed here under President Obama, so have marketing efforts to Hispanics under a partnership with Mexico. We dubbed the program "Fat and Furious" after the administration´s gun-running program that also seemingly had worthy goals but had unclear motives and pernicious effects.

Energy: As the EPA snipes at the State Department´s approval, Canada´s natural resource minister says failure to approve the pipeline would seriously jeopardize our energy relationship and do nothing to save the earth. Joe Oliver, not amused by the continued delays in perhaps the most shovel-ready project since the pyramids, said Wednesday that rejection by the U.S. of the proposed Keystone XL pipeline "would represent a serious reversal in our long-standing energy relationship." This critical energy infrastructure project is also perhaps the most studied and approved. After a reroute at the behest of environmentalists

Texas´ Rick Perry arrived in Illinois Monday to lure businesses away from a state that we and other´s have dubbed "America´s Greece" — beleaguered by debt, punished by regulations and subject to ever-rising taxes — to one that´s leading the pack in job and economic growth.

Asian Security: As Korea festers, our friends in Beijing have deployed near Taiwan a powerful missile designed to take out U.S. aircraft carriers as Beijing strengthens its ability to prevent U.S. forces from aiding Taiwan. When North Korea announced the 1953 Armistice was considered null and void and threatened renewed missile tests, the U.S. rushed naval assets to the region, including two destroyers equipped with the Aegis anti-missile defense system. We presumably would do so if things heated up between Beijing and its claimed "lost province," Taiwan. That option became increasingly problematical when news

Media Bias: There´s palpable dismay at outlets such as MSNBC and Salon that the Boston Marathon bombers were radicalized young men from Chechnya and not angry white males from the vast right-wing conspiracy. Shortly after Monday´s tragedy in Boston, David Sirota of Salon Magazine penned a piece titled "Let´s hope the Boston Marathon bomber is a white American." His hopes were dashed when the suspects turned out to be Muslim brothers Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, whose family origins are in Chechnya, the rebellious Russian region that is a breeding ground for terrorists.

Under the immigration reform bill, some employers would have an incentive of up to $3,000 per year to hire a newly legalized immigrant over a U.S. citizen. In avoiding one controversy — the cost of providing millions of newly legalized immigrants with ObamaCare subsidies — the Senate "Gang of Eight" may have risked walking into another. The bipartisan legislation released Wednesday dictates that those granted provisional legal immigrant status would be treated the same as those "not lawfully present" are treated under the 2010 health law. That means they would neither be eligible for ObamaCare tax credits

Obama administration officials who were in key positions on Sept. 11, 2012, acknowledge that a range of mistakes were made the night of the attacks on the U.S. missions in Benghazi, and in messaging to Congress and the public in the aftermath. The officials spoke to CBS News in a series of interviews and communications under the condition of anonymity so that they could be more frank in their assessments. They do not all agree on the list of mistakes and it's important to note that they universally claim that any errors or missteps did not cost lives and reflect "incompetence rather than malice or cover up.

In the wake of one of the worst abuses of government power in recent history, many are rushing to frame the Internal Revenue Service scandal as simply an attack on conservative activists. That view risks creating a partisan political football and misses a fundamentally scarier abuse that exceeds the scandals of Watergate or any other prior government abuse. The IRS has admitted that since May 2010 it targeted grassroots-conservative organizations that had applied for tax-exempt status, unfairly subjecting them to rigorous scrutiny due to their political leanings. Such groups were told they were required to comply with IRS requests,

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew on Friday urged congressional leaders to raise the debt limit and insisted that the White House is not going to negotiate over the increase because lawmakers have "no choice." "We will not negotiate over the debt limit," Lew wrote. "The creditworthiness of the United States is non-negotiable. The question of whether the country must pay obligations it has already incurred is not open to debate." Lew said that while President Obama is willing to discuss plans to reduce the nation´s deficit with Congress, those talks must be kept separate from any effort to raise the nation´s debt cap.

WASHINGTON - There were new questions Saturday night concerning if anyone in the White House was aware of the IRS´ targeting of conservative groups. Inspector General Russell George said he informed a deputy at the Treasury Department in June of 2012 about the probe into the IRS. The Treasury Department confirmed the timeline but said they did not know the details of the investigation until last week.(Snip)Marcus Owens ran the tax-exempt division at the IRS for 10 years. He said it isn´t difficult to figure out who´s doing what at the agency.

Washington – Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-MO, issued a video statement Friday in response to reports that the Internal Revenue Service unfairly targeted conservative nonprofit groups. (Snip) “There’s a reason Lady Justice wears a blindfold in America. That is because in America, we don’t apply the law based on who you are, who you know, or what you believe. We apply the law equally.” “We should not only fire the head of the IRS, which has occurred, but we’ve got to go down the line and find every single person who had anything to do with this and make sure

The Internal Revenue Service´s watchdog told top Treasury officials around June 2012 he was investigating allegations the tax agency had targeted conservative groups, for the first time indicating that Obama administration officials were aware of the explosive matter in the midst of the president´s re-election campaign. The disclosure to the Treasury general counsel and the deputy secretary was a cursory one, according to J. Russell George, the Treasury inspector general for tax administration. He said he didn´t reveal conclusions of the probe, which was in its early stages, and his disclosure came as part

The lawmaker leading the charge to investigate the Benghazi terror attack on Friday subpoenaed the co-author of a report that slammed the State Department but didn´t interview Hillary Clinton. House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) formally demanded that retired ambassador Thomas Pickering submit to being deposed by the committee next Thursday. The subpoena comes in the wake of a series of acrimonious public exchanges this week between the two men. Issa didn´t issue a subpoena to former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Michael Mullen, who co-authored the Benghazi report with Pickering.
