Those "Far Left" social experiments didn't work. Did they?

Golden State turns to lead, now leads poverty rankings

The Golden State has reached a poverty rate that is now twice as bad as West Virginia’s and substantially worse than the rates of poverty in Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas and Texas, according to a new measure of poverty developed by the federal Census Bureau.

Democrat-run California earned its last-place rank under the federal government’s new measure of poverty, which incorporates more detailed analyses of welfare payments and the local costs of food, gasoline and housing California snatched the last-place prize from Mississippi, which had the highest poverty rate under the older and simpler measure, which gauged people’s ability to buy basic services and goods. Democratic California Gov. Gerry Brown’s office did not release a comment Nov. 15 about the new ranking, but did note that he would be attending a housing conference , the “Greenbuild International Conference and Expo,” in San Francisco Nov. 16.

it is one thing to be below the national poverty level in a low cost area...


but it is even worse in a high cost area such as California.. and is about time they factored cost of living into the data..and how much the families are subsidized in liberal areas, compared to conservative areas and not just look at the money earned..
