Yeah, but then the Feds would just bail them out when they hit bottom anyways. California can do whatever the hell it wants to do, if they stopped all the wasteful, maniacal progressive bullshit, they wouldn't need Federal assistance, they have enough natural resources and farm land to easily support themselves. They just won't use them, get out of your own fucking way.
What makes you think California needs federal assistance now?
California has the second highest unemployment rate in the country. California has among the highest foreclosure rates in the country. As I said, California has lost one million jobs over the last ten years. Because of interference from the environmental lobby, California has the highest gasoline prices in the country. Because of the environmental lobby, the Central Valley is no longer the Bread Basket for the country. There is a 34% unemployment rate in the Central Valley ... and farmers, yes farmers, are on food stamps. Taxes in California are outrageous. Regulations on business are stifling, forcing business to close.
Our air, water and land are cleaner than they have ever been in the last 75 years, we can breath again in this state. Regulations may indeed stifle some business but it keeps us from getting dozens of diseases, on the other hand - Texas has far fewer regulations, perhaps their business is booming there (though I doubt it). Check out their polution record.
