Can California Survive a Middle-Class Exodus?

• arclein

There's a somewhat famous quote from Adam Smith ("there is a great deal of ruin in a nation") about the ability of a country to survive and withstand lots of bad public policy. I've tried to get across the same point by explaining that you don't need perfect policy, or even good policy. A nation can enjoy a bit of growth so long as policy is merely adequate. Just give the private sector some "breathing room," I've argued.
