The financial guru who correctly predicted the disastrous Lehman Brothers collapse in 2008 offered a dismal outlook on the future of California.
Robert Kiyosaki, the author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, is known for making hyperbolic predictions about the US economy – and this time he has a grim prognosis for the most populous state in the nation.
‘The problem is California is going broke,’ he wrote on X. ‘California will begin raising taxes and cutting subsidies to the poor, to prisons, environmental problems, and teachers unions. That means crime will spread as police will be cut.’
He believes even Americans who don’t live in the Golden State should care about its prospects because it’s a bell weather for the rest of the country.
‘Since California is a Bell Weather state and is going broke, which states will follow?’ he asked.
