California has too many on welfare that shouldn't be, the present and every administration before this one has ignored the illegal immigration problem and now 50% of the population in LA county are hispanic. An elected official stated he believed the cost of illegal aliens in LA county was 1 billion dollars a year, yet they do nothing about it, we even voted in 187 and it got shot down by one judge, nice to know one judge has more power than the vote of the state.
Some of my views are progressive, but fiscally they are conservative. Narrow minded people seem to think you are either one or the other. I don't have that problem.
People want a better education but can't afford, military service
Want a smaller home loan, get a smaller home
Want more money, learn a trade
Have a problem with someone, hit them
Now someone can walk into a court room that you know with out you being there and get a restraining order, which takes away one of your constitutional rights to own a firearm. What constitutional right will they take away next?

I don't have much sympathy for people who aren't willing to work, for no good reason, either. I believe the government should be putting people to work building our infrastrucuture. We have a terrible mass transit system which contributes to our dependence on foreign oil. It's extremely hard to get a job in this country without a vehicle, even major metropolitan areas like LA have terrible mass transit systems, that's a problem that should be addressed, and it would put a lot of laid off construction workers back to work.
Almsot every apprenticeship has closed the books in Philadelphia, there's guys that have been laid off going on a year and a half. If you're a journeyman you're fucked because they're going to put the apprentices to work first. Shit, you go down south and you probably have to learn to speak Spanish to work in construction becuase immigrants take jobs that "nobody wants".
