I was not surprised that California has lost 36,000 jobs in the film industry. I think the liberals who run the state have destroyed businesses and jobs by raising taxes and growing government to a ridiculous size. Businesses want to move out of this welfare state as soon as possible. We have too many people on the Government Dole making outrageous wages and benefits. We have too many people on welfare, food stamps, Section 8, free health care. Now you get two years of unemployment paid for all by us who work in the private sector. WOW.
