If the poster is worried about California's "budget crisis & high unemployment" in particular, Texas isn't a great alternative, since it has even higher unemployment, and about the same $25 billion budget deficit.
While you may be correct about the budget deficit of Texas (there is some confusion since they budget on 2 year cycles), the unemployment rate there is most definitely not higher than California. A quick google search shows 7.9% for TX and 12% for CA as of October.

Ah yeah, apologies; I was remembering poverty-rate statistics rather than unemployment-rate statistics.
