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”.

Governor Brown then cracks this wingding of a joke:

“If Trump were ever elected, we’d have to build a wall around California to defend ourselves from the rest of this country,” he said at a dinner held in Sacramento by the California Labor Federation and State Building and Construction Trades Council of California, according to the Sacramento Bee. “By the way that is a joke,” he added. “We don’t like walls, we like bridges.”

Yup, Governor Moonbeam that is a real knee slapper. People are leaving California in droves. The filthy rich make so many rules that you cannot breath without a permit, which they can afford, but the average person cannot. Rush Limbaugh explains it so much better than I ever could.

Dude, you would have to put up the wall around California to keep people from leaving. As the Breitbart article states:

Brown was touting the state’s economic progress, and the influx of young, talented tech workers — though the state has experienced net out-migration for decades, especially of middle-class families.

The governor blasted “old white guys” for not recognizing that their pensions depended on the influx of “young people coming into this country and into this state.”

“Old white guys”, Governor Moonbeam? Have you looked in the mirror lately?

Donald Trump is not the problem with California. Out of touch, elite, rich people are the walls in California. Those walls have been built over the last few decades. That’s not funny.
