[RazorV66]

Newsome invests in the people, Trump invests in corporations, donors and his buddies.
 California is now the 4th largest economy in the world | Governor of California

It is you who is lost in the Trump bullshit con job and you can't see where the true talent lies.

It's you who is lost in the Liberal bullshit con job.

Newsome fucks the people with the highest prices in the country, he doesn't invest in the people.

Run your bullshit story on the fools who might believe you...the other Liberals

 

California prices are significantly higher than the national average, especially for housing, utilities, and gas, driven by high demand and job markets, with costs varying by region but generally demanding higher incomes, like needing over $100k for a family of four to live comfortably. Key expenses include housing (often double the national average), utilities (high electricity), transportation (expensive gas), groceries, and taxes, creating a notable cost-of-living "penalty" compared to other states. 

Housing Costs (Major Driver) 
 
• Home Prices: Average home prices are around $800,000+, often double the national average. 
• Rent: A two-bedroom apartment averages around $1,884, but is much higher in cities like LA & SF. 
• Mortgage Payments: Monthly payments for new mid-tier homes were over $5,500 in late 2025. [2, 3, 6]  
 
Other Major Expenses 
 
• Utilities: Electricity is significantly higher (over 100% in some analyses), with high monthly bills. 
• Gas: Gas prices are consistently among the highest in the U.S.. 
• Groceries: Food costs are about 14-27% higher than the national average. 
• Healthcare: Health insurance and care costs are higher. 
• Taxes: State and local taxes are substantially higher. [1, 2, 5, 7, 8]  
 
What You Need to Earn 
 
• Living Wage: A family of four needs over $110,000 annually to cover basic living, while a single person in LA might need $76,000+. [2, 9]  
 
In Summary 
Living in California involves a major cost premium, with housing being the largest factor, making it one of the most expensive states, especially in metropolitan areas. [2, 3, 4]

That's not how it works. How it works is through the right leadership and investments, and that is how Newsome is making Cali better every year.

Newsome increases the GDP much more than Trump ever could and Trump has a whole country.

His approval ratings for almost EVERY ASPECT have sunk to very low levels.

What's it like to be that dense?

Read my Economist link and educate yourself.

"Consumer confidence plunged when Mr Trump took office. It rebounded in June and July, but has slid again since. In November it fell to the lowest level since June 2022. The tariff war and prolonged government shutdown and have left Americans gloomier about their finances and the broader economy."

And, guess what?, what the people think is what really matters.

I can find sources the earth is flat and NASA lies to hid the earth is flat.

You argue like a flat earther.  Look.  I got a link.

How about stating actual facts instead of someone confirmation bias opinion.  

Consumer spending is still strong just coming off one of the largest thanksgiving travel periods with a continued decline in gas prices.

That's exactly how that works. 


Explain to me why almost every other state in the country has a GDP that is comparable to the population of that state, when using California as a reference? 


Are you telling me this upward trend, starting 18+ years before Newsome was even thinking of running for Governor, is all thanks to Newsome? You really are quite ignorant aren't you?

Not just any link, The Economist not the federal government.

Consumer spending = unmanageable personal debt

gas prices are okay for now, but it has nothing to do with Trump or his actions

You miss the forest for the trees.

Yeah, I'd take her word salad over his blistering unhinged diatribes any day.

You might, but it's far from certain enough to sway the elections; Trump isn't even a candidate, Vance and or Rubio just dont motivate the vitriol that Trump does. 


 I still don't listen to ANY politician's speeches and daily BS.Trump's unhinged diatribes and "tweets" included.... read the recaps or transcripts. 

but because the left has let Trump know it irritates them to their core, I imagine he will continue unabated.

But what's the matter? Is the shine off Gavin's apple? 

10 years of OMB concerns, and the DNC still has to run the same lame ass candidates.

Yeah,go ahead, please anoint Kamala Harris's drunk cackling ass as the DNC nominee again in 2028, and we will see what happens. Democrats won't have TDS to spur and motivate their voter base this go around

Democrats need a talker, an orator, someone who can speak to and soothe the Democrats' and reassure thier frazzled, troubled, and conflicted minds over and over.

The DNC has to answer to its LGBTQ+ contingent while tapping into the DNC's traditional blue-collar worker base in the depth needed to win close elections. It's a precarious juggling act that doesn't inspire the Independents to say Let's try that, again so close to Bidens

Gavin barely climbs over Biden's low bar, and Kamala can't even reach that high

• John F. Kennedy (1961–1963)
  
• Lyndon B. Johnson (1963–1969)
  
• Jimmy Carter (1977–1981)
  
• Bill Clinton (1993–2001)
  
• Barack Obama (2009–2017)
  
• Joe Biden (2021–2025)

How convenient that you passed right over the facts I posted about Newsome burying Californians with the highest prices in the country with some bullshit deflection about Trump.

You were praising Newsome like he will be the Second Coming of Jesus as president.

Thats why nobody takes you seriously.

[FlyersFan]

Newsome invests in the people, Trump invests in corporations, donors and his buddies.
