Since California makes up about 1/6 of the US GDP at ~2T$ per year, sends more than 300Billion dollars in federal income taxes to DC every year (almost 100B$/year more than the next highest state - NY), and possesses around 1/8th (40M) of the US's population, I'll leave it for you to figure out whether or not chopping off your dominant arm is an asset or a liability.
You have got to be kidding. Per capita GDP would go up if California slipped into the Pacific ocean. They consume more than they produce. Like Greece or Zimbabwe.
That is simply ideological delusion being substituted for fact.
Most welfare recipients and debtors are conservatives, it is only their viewing of the world through the lens their own incompetencies and greed that lead them to believe government cannot be effective or fair.
Looks like the fly-over Red states are red for a reason and much more into the federal teat than the coastal states that actually earn most of the nation's income.
s0n......are you some kind of relative of RipVan Winkle? All this Keynesian shit is about to get mothballed for a couple of generations because its a disaster. Its been in the news alot..........like 17 people nation-wide think the economy is good.
