CA doing well despite regressive doomsday predictions

As usual Krugman sets the regressive straight. CA implemented higher taxes, increased spending, raised the minimum wage and implemented an Obamacare exchange. The regressives predicted that this would destroy their economy, but guess what? Employment is up higher than the national average. Healthcare premiums are below expectations while enrollment is up, cutting the uninsured in half. They have a budget surplus. CA is a shining example of why the progressive agenda works and why the regressives hate it so.
