What would need to change in order for Californians to feel more optimistic about the coming year?

According to The Field Poll released Tuesday, the first conducted in six languages and dialects, a majority (59%) of registered California voters report being worse off financially than they were a year ago. Forty-eight percent think there will be no change in their economic well-being in the coming year, and slightly more (27%) believe they will be better off than worse off (18%).

I would feel more confident if California were to make Education a priority and make a statement that we need to invest in the youth of our state, our future workforce and leadership. Without a well educated work force and an investment in the youth of our state, we are headed in a dangerous direction that will be very hard to reverse. We have already fallen behind in many areas.
If our politicians would be more reasonable, work together to solve society's problems, compromise with each other once in a while, drop the dogma of their political parties, and stop putting themselves and their contributors first for a change, we'd all be better off.
