You asked a non-political question in a "US Politics Thread"... I've seen quite a few of those surveys over the years, and all I can say is there's a survey to satisfy every viewpoint, it just depends on who you ask, what you ask, when you ask, and how you ask... Personally, while I do have some quibbles, overall, living in CA isn't so bad and, overall, is better than a lot of other states; how can I say that? Maybe its due to all those people for those other states who keep flocking to CA escaping whatever problems they're having in their previous home states. You bring up surveys: there was one a bit of a while back the CA-GOP cited saying large numbers of people were leaving the state because they didn't like it here; their survey, their results. However, if you look at state records of population changes, more people are coming into CA than are leaving, some thing the other survey didn't deem to acknowledge. The knock about high taxes, over-regulation, etc., still hasn't reduced the number of new citizens, the growth of business, or the overall production numbers of the state... I don't think there is any state that has or will ever have a straight-across-the-board high percentile rating, so I just concern myself with where I am and what goes on around me, when it come to quality of life... <O>

Is there anyone in Washington who is not involved in this kind of thing.

Disgraceful. Disturbing lack of professionalism these days.

Look what happens if you get caught lying to the US Congress, like Hillary Clinton and James Clapper. https://www.cnbc.com/2016/07/07/what...-congress.html What happens if you lie to Congress Q: Who has ever lied to Congress? A: This might be a tough one to answer comprehensively especially because it is extremely rare to see charges brought. In fact, a study from 2007 found just six successful convictions of perjury or related charges in relation to Congress in the previous 60 years.

Actually Mr. Quatro, he was caught for "making false statements to special agents of the FBI during the course of an investigation into the unlawful disclosure of classified information".
But you are right, testifying before Congress is a joke. Put these people before a Grand Jury and see what happens.

Let us please put things in perspective.
Trump said that H. Clinton lied to the FBI. He had and has no evidence. The FBI denies that she ever lied to them. Next claim is that Clinton lied to Congress. However she did not. https://verdict.justia.com/2016/08/1...illary-clinton http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-me...linton-lied-f/ They can just lie and call her a liar and worse, and obviously have nothing to fear. Trump's and certain people's wishful thinking has nothing to do with facts or the truth. Basically Trump can invent any "truth" and make up any statement, and people fall for it. Because certain people already have an opinion, and then look for any tweet and sh!t to back it up.

Lying
-to speak falsely or utter untruth knowingly, as with intent to deceive. Disingenuous -not candid or sincere, typically by pretending that one knows less about something than one really does.

That's stand-up comedy at its best.

True charity is when you don't want anything in return
Notice that Bill and Hillary Clinton are no longer in the charity business
