What can I say, (as a Californian resident)? One thing I can think of?
At least federal money would be helping one of the "
United States", just like yours. And not dumping money into a war with no end or vicotry in sight, or bailing out a
HUGE business that over extended credit to people they knew could not afford to pay it back ... while sticking the money, they did get back, into the CEO's pocket.
