If CA a template for U.S. on income inequality, U.S. is doomed

Exaltation of Gov. Jerry Brown — normally more an East Coast media thing than a California thing — has found a home in the Los Angeles Times. The paper carried a news analysis piece with this headline: “Gov. Brown sees

So, how will Obamacare work in CA?
