But that's the point of the article. The state is failing in all of these dimensions, while state tax revenues and budgets have nearly doubled! We have more spending, but it's not fixing the issues. Many Silicon Valley people are upset about the ineffectiveness of this spend.

Now the spend is going to go even higher, driving out Silicon Valley in the process, but it will not achieve any of the objectives. In fact, it may be destructive to California on a whole.

Thank you for this comment! I am not a resident of California, I just read the news and the complaints I hear from people who do live there tend to sync up. I still have very little sympathy for the calls to outrage but thats a much more reasonable perspective.

As shown by DOGE, they merely care about the spend, whatever it does being a minor detail.
