That’s right!!! This is where it is at!! The sun, the beach, the diversity! Who would not want to live here!!! It is gorgeous and I can go out for a nice hike any day!
California is NOT going bankrupt, it is in the top 10 wealthiest states!
Silicone Valley and Hollywood are both in California. Generating two major export products of the US. Its also one of the major Tourist Area’s in the US. Attracting native aswell as foreign tourists.
and im sure access to migrant workers also helps lower personel costs for big companies.
It’s known as the Golden State beause in the late 1800’s there was the California Gold Rush. A few miners struck gold there and suddenly everybody from the midwest was moving to california because they all wanted to share in the wealth. California has the largest gross domestic product in america because #1, it’s still the most populous state and they generate a lot of business and product. (closely followed by NY state). it’s not the most mexican state. It is, however, the largest melting pot of ethnicities in the US.
“The Golden State” has long been a popular designation for California and was made the official State Nickname in 1968. It is particularly appropriate since California’s modern development can be traced back to the discovery of gold in 1848 and fields of golden poppies can be seen each spring throughout the state.

California could be the wealthiest state because of its natural resources, well-run government, and high salaries of many of its residents. It also has a long coast line for industry and diverse temperature zones for farming.
your sentence structure sucks and you spelled America wrong. so california obviously isn’t spending any of its wealth on education. if you have so much pride in mexico and disdain for America, go back to that toilet mexico.
I live in Cali. I LOVE my state, I grew up here.
Anyway, its called the golden state because of he gold rush in 1850 in san francisco. After that CA actually became part of the US.
I am not sure why is the wealthiest…
but yes, it is the mkost hispanically populated and MEXIFORNIA, DO I LOVE YOU!!!!! )))))))))))))
So… especially in the south… you kinda HAVE to speak spanish now… hahaha so I’m glad I do.)
I don’t think it has much to do with Hispaniks or particularly Mexiko or Mexikans. It does have to do with the Gold Rush.
California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s office predicted the state’s budget deficit may reach $20 billion, more than twice the size of previous estimates and enough to account for nearly one-fifth of the budget. States overall expect to have at least $26 billion less than they need to pay bills in the next budget year, according to an April report by the National Conference of State Legislatures.
Today, Vallejo California became the newest city in that state for file bankruptcy. It’s a San Francisco suburb. California is falling apart.
You must be dumb if you don’t know why it’s called the Golden State. Secondly, Cali is in the top 10, but it is not the “wealthiest” state. Get some education before you speak. Just because I let you maintain my lawn doesn’t mean you make this country rich.
As others mention, it has to do with the gold rush in SFO, Is it because its the most Mexican state? i dont even think thats true, % wise im pretty sure, Texas and New Mexico are more Mexican than CA,
However CA is a MORE diverse state than the other 2, it is also a very progressive state and it has some of the best Universities in the country which accounts to wealth and development
As of 2006, the gross state product (GSP) of California was about $1.727 trillion, the largest in the United States. California is responsible for 13% of the United States gross domestic product (GDP). As of 2006, California’s GDP is larger than all but seven countries in the world (and all but ten countries by Purchasing Power Parity). However, California is facing a $16 billion budget deficit for the 2008-09 budget year. It is the wealthiest because of it’s unique industries (Hollywood, Silicone Valley, etc.) and abundance of natural resources.
It is NOT the “most Mexian state” however, that honor goes to New Mexico.
Using the politically charged alternative spelling of America makes me wonder what type of affiliations you have….
Why does California have some of the worst education and budget deficit and Los Angeles spending 1 billion in welfare on illegal each year.
Is it because of Mexicans, could be.

look up California Gold Rush.
maybe if your ancestors didn’t roll over and lose the Mexican-American war it still be a Mexican State!!!
California, United States of America
Not likely. Nice try on the race baiting.
Yup.

It’s called The Golden State because large quantities of gold were discovered there in 1848. That simple.

Abracitos de Cali y que te vaya bien.
Becasue gold was found there 1849 causing the gold Rush. No, its it isn’t because it is the most mexican state.
