		<description><![CDATA[The 5.2% may not seem like a large percent, but that percentage amounts 
to about 73,000 companies less than the previous year. One would hope 
those companies have found new places to do business, but it could be 
said that the number accounts for companies that have folded as well. 
Trying to keep up with the strict laws and the amount of time needed to 
attain permits within California is another challenge business owners 
face.

There are many who are frustrated with California and the state it is in. We have an outlet for those who are looking for a place to voice their frustration and challenges with doing business in California at www.leavingcalifornia.com.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[— It was not surprising that Texas held out.

For years, Texas was among a handful of states that required every resident seeking help with grocery bills to first be fingerprinted, an exercise typically associated with criminals.

Even though Republican Gov. Rick Perry ultimately got rid of the policy, Texas — always seeking to whittle down &quot;big government&quot; — remains one of the most effective states at keeping its poor out of the giant federal food stamp program.

But it is not No. 1. That distinction belongs to California.

Liberal California discourages eligible people from signing up for food stamps at rates conservative activists elsewhere envy. Only about half of the Californians who qualify for help get it.

That stands in contrast to other states, including some deeply Republican ones, that enroll 80% to 90% of those with incomes low enough to qualify.

That public policy paradox — one of the country&#039;s most liberal states is the stingiest on one of the nation&#039;s biggest benefit programs — has several causes, some intentional, some not. It also has two clear consequences: Millions of Californians don&#039;t get help, and the state leaves hundreds of millions of dollars of federal money on the table.
I told conservatives that San Diego and Orange County had lower food stamp usage than Dallas and Houston and Austin, this is proof. It was Arnold and Pete  Wlison that harded the requriments. Jerrry Brown is changing it though.
The federal government pays for almost all of the food stamp program, which provides cash aid to about 46 million]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As &quot;objectivefactsmatter&quot; has said below:  they are not democrats, they are communists (aka progressives).  They know as well as we do, how to grow an economy and achieve prosperity.  Their goal for decades, has been to collapse the economy, destroy the middle class, weaken the bonds of family and religion and get as much of the populous as possible dependent on the government for survival.  The result is a Communist utopia for those in power and dire poverty and helplessness for the rest of us.  They are only a few pieces of legislation, executive orders and regulatory mandates from fully implementing a totalitarian regime.  Obama has not made any mistakes.  This is an ends-justify-the-means Dictator-in-Waiting.  He won&#039;t have to wait much longer!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I remember watching all pictures and video the people that drove
out of East Germany into Hungary and across the border to West Germany. 
They came with everything they owned strapped to those little cars, Trabants: smaller than the smart car. The wall came down less than 6 months later.  The cracks are showing in the dam and in a few years the remaining people that run the business with be gone from the state as well. We will see Greece in the USA. The riots of the Obama phone people start will dwarf any unrest that we have seen before]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, the La area is not very business oriented and in fact Orange County to the south is doing a lot better not saying there are problems with the state government but the Bay area, Placer in Northern California near Sac and the coastal counties outside of La are doing better since they are usually under 40 percent Hispanic.  The OC has unemployment similar to Houston or Dallas Texas and White not creating as many jobs has a lot less afro-americans which means it doesn&#039;t have the two ethinic group problem of the big metro areas of Texas  both Hispanics and blacks just Hispanics. Its expensive this is why conservative Republicans run to Texas .]]></description>
