Dan Walters: California’s uneven recovery shrinks middle class even more

Making the poor poorer.  The rich?  As long as they keep finding the insanity of Leftists, this will continue.  And the middle?

Gone. Or leaving.

But what about the middle class? What about aerospace craftsmen, automobile assemblers, petrochemical plant operators, movie industry technicians and myriad other well-paying occupations that accompanied California’s rise as a major economic power in the 20th century?

Those jobs have vanished by the millions and continue to disappear, leaving behind a state marked by high poverty rates and pockets of sybaritic excess.
