The California Dream Lives

To hell with naysayers: Despite Its Woes, California's Dream Still Lives, writes Michael Grunwald in Time -- while John Judis ponders, Is California Finished? in The New Republic, concluding: No. Two articles worth reading back to back, as an antidote to the much buzzed about Will California become America's first failed state? in The Guardian. Blend it all together, reflect, and rejoice in the fact that, no, we're not ready to be buried yet. Naysayers will just have to wait.
