CA is a microcosm of America's future as a welfare state, its what happens when you follow Keynesianism.

This is a stupid measure. The south is cheap so of course their poverty does not seem as bad when you account for healthcare. California is expensive, so of course the low income there are in a worse position. I think this measure dramatically overcompensated for living costs, since the states with the lower poverty are also conveniently the states where no one lives, and no one wants to live, resulting in a very low COL.

Not surprising. Enron bankrupted the state in the early 2000s and before that Reagan's agenda destroyed the state's capability of funding necessary projects. The effects of neo-conservatism.
