California is Aging Fast — and Socialism Won’t Make Us Younger
California is getting old.
California, long associated with youth, is getting old — and twice as quickly as the national average. The walker seems likely to replace the surfboard as the state’s defining feature.
California’s over-65 population, the Stanford Center on Longevity notes, will double in 20 years, while the nationwide population this will take 30 years to double.
By 2060, the state’s median age is projected to be over 45. In 1970, it was nearly 28.
The aging of California is made more difficult by the steady loss of working-age people, particularly in middle-aged families. Since 2000, more than 4 million net domestic migrants have moved to other parts of the nation from California, a pace that has accelerated in recent years.

“Democratic” Socialism Is Undemocratic
By promoting class hatred, suppressing private initiative, and seeking enhanced control of our lives, today’s democratic socialists undermine patriotism and individual initiative—two qualities that have long distinguished the United States from other major nations.
