California Nightmare

As California sinks into a Venezuela-like morass, Hoover Institution historian Victor Davis Hanson chronicles its decline, here for Investor's Business Daily. He asks why someone won't take action.

Like many of us oldtimers, Hanson remembers a time when California was a beacon of hope for Americans everywhere. Now it's a mess. My favorite line from his IBD piece:

One-third of Bay Area residents were polled as hoping to leave the area soon.

That can't be good.
