California, which produces a vast variety of agricultural products for the nation and the world, is in the middle of a wide-ranging drought.
The continuing drought is making fruit more expensive, and this will make it harder for Americans to be able to afford a healthy nutritional lifestyle -- thus affecting our health. Decreasing exports from California will decrease the value of the US dollar, making our savings accounts able to buy less goods and services.
We can put construction workers back to work by building modern desalination plants in California -- driving down water bills and preventing a catastrophic decline in California's agricultural productivity.
