And yet, it is the one overwhelming place where business is done in the US. In almost every type of business there is. Maybe cost of doing business is not such a big factor on where people choose to put there businesses.

The California exodus to Texas is reflected in market-based, one-way U-Haul truck rental prices
Toyota’s announcement on Monday to move its headquarters and 3,000 jobs from Torrance, California to Plano, Texas has been in the news this week, here’s one report:
Toyota delivered a surprise pink slip to California on Monday, announcing the company would move its U.S. headquarters and about 3,000 jobs from the Los Angeles suburbs to the outskirts of Dallas.
The world’s largest automaker will keep a foothold in the Golden State – about 2,300 jobs will remain in California after the company settles into its new corporate campus in Plano, Texas. But the announcement is an economic and symbolic slap for California, a historic center of American car culture that has been trying to shake its reputation as a frustrating place to run a business, whether that involves shooting a film or selling a Prius. Toyota’s announcement comes about two months after Occidental Petroleum Corp. disclosed it was moving its headquarters to Houston from Los Angeles.
“When you look at the whole package, it’s difficult to be a business here,” lamented Torrance Mayor Frank Scotto, whose community on the edge of the Pacific will suffer as the jobs migrate to Texas.
The Torrance mayor is right about the difficulty of being a business in California. According to Forbes, California ranks as the 12th worst state in the country for doing business, while Texas ranks as the 7th best state for business overall, and No. 1 for “economic climate.” The Tax Foundation ranks Texas No. 11 for state tax climate, while California ranks second-worst in the country at No. 49.

So, if you put your hand on the scale, adjust cost of living based on the highest cost area, make outrageous claims about needing hepatitis shots, you will somehow look past the actual data and say we are 36th or 37th. Or 12th in the world rankings of size of economy behind Mexico after adjusting for cost of living (on average) . Is this guy or the blogger economists?

GDP is not an indicator of how well government is doing. Especially since government is still spending more than they take in.

I never rated the effectiveness of our government. My comments are about the size of our economy and the strength of the economy. I do think we do better than most as my comments about our Governor suggest.
