Bad trade deals have really hurt California. Even Canada was stealing jobs from California, they stole the automobile manufacturing plant from Van Nuys, and Canada has been stealing film and television jobs, etc. Everyone has been stealing jobs from California. California experienced more than just a recession, it was like the great depression in many areas. I myself was homeless for two years, I had to live in my pickup truck, and I was never able to do what I went to school to do, I went to school to be an actor and a filmmaker.
Anyhow, there is a lot of hard work to do in order to make things better. And not only do we need to fix trade deals with China, we need to fix trade deals with everyone. And we need to be able to sell California cheese in Canada again without high import tariffs, etc. What we have is worth improving. We can compete with the whole world on a level playing field, but what we have right now is not level. And Californians love to live good lives, and California is a proud state. Right now we are all living in group homes, or on government aid, or barely getting by. If it was not for Social Security and welfare and stuff, and Section 8 Housing, etc, then it would really be bad.
And NO WALL! Mexico is Calfiornia's number one trade partner. Without Mexico we would be in even worse shape. Mexico is on our team. We need to expand trade with Mexico, and we need to have a GOOD NEIGHBOR policy so that they can live and work and go to school and stuff in the USA.

Youa re a survivor, Tony.
Props to you.
But I ask - how bad do you THINK it will get in Cali if RULE OF LAW continues to be ignored?
Really? Trade pacts are killing yoiur state? Really? This is what you are going with?
As the economy improves as we create more fair trade pacts, then we need to give the new factories tax breaks for hiring formerly homeless people, and for hiring people who are on government aid, etc. And also, if you come to California and film here using all local workers then you need to receive a tax break. And if you go to Van Nuys to open a new automobile manufacturing plant, then you need free redevelopment money and tax breaks for hiring local workers, etc, etc,etc. We need to inspire people to create jobs. This is better than the stimulus money because it goes to workers, and towards helping people to sustain themselves. We need to get people off of aid and back into the workforce.
We also need to build our high speed trains in California as well as high speed trains between Anaheim and Las Vegas. (A high speed train between New York City and Washington D.C. would also be wise.)
We need to level the playing field, and we need to get Americans back to work, and we need to get Californians back to work.
Salute,
Tony V.
