Everyone blames the liberals which is true in part, they were living the high life with borrowed money and false expectations of endless incomes, much like Detroit and its car industry, but now the gravy train has been rapidly going downhill. The LA and California gravy train was the TV and movie industry, but because of the decimation of the ad revenues that is why so many less jobs in the LA area. I think its internet like Gaagle and Yu Toob stealing/redistributing the wealth. First the newspapers started dying, magazines, now TV/movies too, the gravy train of the LA area.
