Rep. Mike Garcia: Exporting California's worst ideas – Democrats want to take radical policies nationwide

The politicians running Washington, D.C., are trying to take California national. Unfortunately, it is not the year-round sunshine and ocean breeze they are seeking. 

Under the reign of progressives who have a stranglehold on Sacramento, California has become the test tube for some of the most radical, far-left policies imaginable, and the results have been near catastrophic for families, small business owners and anyone trying to have some semblance of a life.   If it’s happening in California, there’s an ugly twin sitting in Washington being pushed by Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and progressives.   High tax, anti-worker legislation is making California unlivable for everyone except the wealthy and even many wealthy people are heading for the door.
