There is a reason that California Governor Jerry Brown cannot shake his Governor Moonbeam moniker. When one is young and foolish and dating singer Linda Ronstadt, being an idealistic dreamer is groovy. When one is seventy eight and again Governor of the Golden State, being an idealistic dreamer with one’s head up one’s tuchus is tragic.

For California, electing and re-electing Governor Moonbeam four times has been an economic disaster! Now, he wants to wall the state off from the rest of the country is Donald Trump becomes President. He said it was a joke, but humor always contains truth. Or, it’s not funny.

Here is what happened. Mr. Brown was addressing a dinner group held by the California Labor Federation and the State Building and Construction Trades Council of California, as reported by Breitbart. Now, these are his people. Union people who contribute big time and want the work kept within their group and everyone else kept out. Economically, this is known as “barriers to entry”.
