Reply #73: IT Ain't Coming Back To Silicon Valley [View All]

[Yavin4]

What these idiot pundits don't get is that IT is gone forever from Cali. The days of the 120K a year computer programmer are a thing of the past like Britney Spears' virginity, and without a huge tech sector, there's no other real tax base to pull from.

In addition, Cali's spending will skyrocket because of healthcare. You have two major healthcare problems: (1) the population is getting older and will need more healthcare and (2) the new jobs that are being created in Cali are temp and low paying positions which offer no benefits. So, these uninsured people will need government financed healthcare.

In the end, Cali will be spending more money, taking in less money, and not creating any new jobs to pay for their current expenses.
