Nearly 80 percent of voters in California believe the state is heading in the wrong direction. This is according to a recent poll conducted by The College of Letters, Arts & Sciences at USC and The Los Angeles Times. The number is shocking, and even more shocking why isn't anyone doing something to stop this. This number screams for attention from California residents and its representatives. Yet somehow it seems everyone's numb from the shock. USC Professor Dan Schnur gives a possible reason why the people of California aren't doing too much. Schnur suggests that they tried to do something with the recall election, but failed. Sure things changed for a while but at the end of the day California is doing much worse and this doesn't seem to be the bottom.
The majority of voters might be disappointed and have given up, but what about those representatives they trusted. It seems they don't have an answer because they're too busy not doing their jobs, and the one shining star Gavin Newsom has called it quits on the governor's race leaving no hope for people of California in need. The only other candidates left to take the governor's seat are the same old politicians that have led California into the financial hole it is in today.
This state needs change and lots of it if it's going to survive. It needs bright politicians who are willing to break from the status quo of uselessness and do something that will change the state forever. The state needs leaders who will guide it in the right direction towards the light at the end of the tunnel which few Californians are able to see at this moment. This state needs to go back to financial basics - using only the money you have. If kids can understand this concept why can't a state that is one of the largest economies in the world.
Keep it Simple Stupid and the state will be return to its golden days.
