A new report from the United Ways of California shows that 35% of households across the state -- more than 3.8 million -- don't earn enough to cover basic living expenses.

What a moronic, trolling response. These problems aren't unique to California nor any other state. It's a national issue. If Republicans are the "poverty saviors" like you claim, then why are all the poorest states red states? CA has the 5th largest economy in the world FFS.

I see you're the same "FreedomAdvocate" from that other post where you were arguing that it's imperative that the government lock citizens away in a mental institution without any sort of due process. So much for "freedom," eh? That really highlights what you're really all about, which is spreading right-wing propaganda and disinformation.

So with the 5th largest economy in the world, you’re all crying about homelessness and a cost of living crisis and a housing crisis and not enough jobs…..and you think just electing the same people with the same policies over and over again will magically fix the problem? What’s the definition of insanity again?

Are those poorest states in the country also maybe ones that are majority rural?

As for looking through my post history, a few things:

  1. Randomly generated username.
  2. I wasn’t arguing for “no due process” in locking people up, and to say that shows your agenda.
  3. i haven’t spread any “propaganda” or “disinformation”. In fact that was the people I was discussing the issue with, who were saying things like “anyone who misses a rent payment will be locked up indefinitely in a mental health facility” - that’s the very definition of “disinformation”.

So let’s get back on to this topic hey?

Why do you think the democrats will all of a sudden fix the problems? If you don’t, then what possible alternative do you think there is that might be worth a try?
