Crazifornia: Tales from the Tarnished State - How California is Destroying Itself and Why it Matters to America
When the agency responsible for state roads spends $4 million on new cars and trucks, then parks them unused for two years, that's Crazifornia. When cancer warnings are required on buildings because they may contain estrogen or testosterone, that's Crazifornia. And when a full-frontal governmental assault on business drives enough people out of a state in ten years to double the population of Oregon, that's Crazifornia, too. Through tale after outrageous, funny, tragic tale, "Crazifornia: Tales from the Tarnished State" explains why California is crashing, making it a must-read for all Californians and for anyone who fears California may be coming their way soon. That's why nationally syndicated radio talk show host Hugh Hewitt called Crazifornia "The most insightful book on California's perilous condition - ever." Part One provides history and perspective, explaining how the PEER Axis - Progressives, Environmentalists, Educators and Reporters - took over the Golden State and work to keep it a leader in Progressivism, generation after generation. Part Two looks at the current state of affairs in the Tarnished State - bureaucratic ineptitude, anti-business policies, a failed education system, entrenched environmentalism, unsustainable pensions and a perpetually unbalanced budget, and considers California's options for the future. "One rarely reads such a funny account of such a sad subject," said California columnist and author Steven Greenhut. "This is a great book to read, tearfully, as you pack the house in Orange County and wait for the moving van to take you to Nevada."
