Heres what we do know. California leads the nation in energy conservation. Californians now pay the highest cost for energy in the United States and some areas have frequent "brown outs" during the summer months. Obama wants the United States to lead the planet in energy conservations. Anybody want to take a guess at what the result will be?

Venezuela, apparently, has the same troubles, while they sell oil, here, to the poor, at reduced prices, to show how caring Chavez is.

The Golden State has not been looking so golden for a while now. California has budget deficits that get bigger ever year, despite imposing among the highest tax rates in the country in every category. These factors have begun to chase businesses and their employees to other states that are better managed and far less costly. Yet as bad as these economic conditions are to the burden of running a business (not to mention raising a family), they are only part of the reason that it is so difficult to operate a profitable enterprise in California today.

It is no surprise...
