Thats a very creative rewrite of history. I'll give you credit for that. The only thing that lead to fiscal issues in California was a political system that allowed spending the issuance of debt to go unchecked. Blaming it on prop 13 because our poor, thrifty politicians couldn't jack up property taxes to finance their hopes and dreams is foolish to say the least.
