Are you a Democrat running for office, or already in office, like California’s Gavin Newsom? Then you better be ready to outbid your Democrat competition for attention. As for the rest of us, there will be no fiscal sanctuary.

California alone is one of the largest economies in the world. At the state level, it is also a one-party state. Democrats have run the legislature for decades and hold all of the state-wide offices, both U.S. Senate seats, and 39 of the 53 House seats. Such dominance frees all of those Democrats from fiscal rationality.
