A new US Census Bureau report shows that, "About 100,000 more Californians moved to another state in 2011 than California gained from other states," in the summary by the Sacramento Bee.

From the mid-1980s to 2005, California's population grew by 10 million, while Medicaid recipients soared by seven million; tax filers paying income taxes rose by just 150,000; and the prison population swelled by 115,000.

Condolences to Texas and Arizona...
It's probably Washington State that is most annoyed.
