The California budget doesn't spend money to build fighter planes, so that's out the window to begin with. And does LA really need "Taj Mahal" schools? How about fix the ones that really need help, rather than pour money into a couple that on the whole will not help the whole city.

The point is, that California does not have an income problem, but a spending problem, and statist apologists like you will go out of your way to maximize the former, and minimize latter.
