This thinking runs contrary to the fact that cities like Detriot, Chicago are debt-centers. California (also reliably blue) is far 'in the red' as far as debt goes.

No, liberal tax policies are not the answer. The piper must be paid eventually.

California has significantly below average, for a US state, combined state and local public debt to GDP ratio.

Which piper is getting paid? The wealthy who made their fortunes in society but don't want to contribute back with their fair share of taxes to keep society running?
