One day my wife's boss told her, "Wouldn't it be great if we had no Republicans and just Democrats running our country"?
California which is on the brink of financial collapse and has been governed from the far left for decades, is blaming a handful of Republicans for all of their financial quandary. California is over 20 billion dollars in debt and has worse credit than a 3rd world dictatorship. Then why are they blaming the few Republicans left in state government for their problems? Because they cannot raise taxes any further without the approval of this small group of reluctant conservatives. You see, it takes a 2/3 majority to approve tax hikes in that state. You might wonder why this should concern us who reside outside of this Gold Coast bastion of social liberalism. Because---"What happens in California does not stay in California". Currently the three wise women from California, Nancy Pelosi, Dianne Feinstein, and Barbara Boxer are calling the shots for virtually all of the domestic policies coming out of Washington these days---or at least they are taking credit for the odious endeavors of this dubious administration. Yes, it looks like my wife's boss finally got his wish, now there are not enough Republicans left in National office to stop these three wise women. Finally the country does not have to deal with any more Republicans. Since my wife is now retired, I suggested that she call her old boss and ask him how he likes the way things are going now in the Country now that there are no Republicans influencing government any longer? After all, "What happens in California does not stay in California". William Haupt III is a freelance journalist.
