Well, since the federal government owns 48% of California succession might not go like they planned.
Secession talk is retarded.Perfect. Democrats won't win another national election. I can live with that.
They are already bankrupt as a state and will never ever afford the retirements they have voted for themselves in the public sector and is being paid for off the backs of the private sector. Taxes will balloon and more and more corporations will leave. They have already lost a lot of Hi Tech, wait until the democrats look at the remaining group and tell them they are going to pay for the states retirement packages through doubling tax rates. The produce produced in CA will now have to compete with added tariffs. No one in any state will have to pay for their fucked up man made and natural disasters they clearly aren't prepared for. They can open their borders again! National defense? Hello neighboring states, you just got more bases and income.
More than anything, none of us will have to pay for the states massive welfare rolls.
California would be harmed by leaving the US. The US would be harmed by California leaving. Pretending there would be a winner in this scenario is fucking stupid.California is either not as rich or powerful relative to everyone as you claim or they are insane for wanting to continue to dilute their own power.
It’s cute that you think a rational USA would not overtake California within months of whatever fever dream secession your crazy Dem leaders apparently think they can pull off with no push back.California would be harmed by leaving the US.

I don’t know how I feel about upvoting a HH post in the tug, but you’re 100% correct.California would be harmed by leaving the US. The US would be harmed by California leaving.

Get yourself another fella, Chrissey.
I suppose Californians could advocate that things the federal government now does be done at the state level, because California could afford to do those things for itself. That would be amusing mostly because of who would suddenly oppose the loss of federal power.Not arguing that at all. Posing the question that why does the richest state always want more federal government spending and centralized power? Wouldn’t it be in their theoretical benefit to have less central Federal government and they get to keep more of their own money and more control over their own decisions? Seems like some smart person will make that argument someday and do well with it.
Agreed. Which makes them insane for not doing that.I suppose Californians could advocate that things the federal government now does be done at the state level, because California could afford to do those things for itself.

Hey moron, you said there would be no winner in a secession scenario, which is absurd. I responded that a sane USA would just overtake the new country of California before China. There is no way it remains a sovereign nation. Secession is an aggressive act of war and if you do live in CA, welcome to being a US territory.@EverettChrissey
Your poast was about what you imagine I'm thinking, Bernice. You think about me too much. It's not healthy.
