The fact is that you have repeated a right-wing talking point. California sends more money to DC than it gets back for services. So you can talk about this reduction in the quality of life, but the fact remains that California money funds a bunch of red states. Furthermore, you have had republican governors there. I believe that Arnold helped reduce whatever reduction in the quality of life that occurred.
show me a right winger saying the same thing i am saying about the quality of life in California.... and i dont give a fuck about how much money they send to DC.....if that state makes so much money,how come their not so wealthy citizens are not enjoying things like their more wealthy citizens do?.....and arnold?...give me a break....the highly democratic legislature runs everything since the late 90's....and the last republican gov there Wilson left the state with a 13 billion dollar surplus....

Federal transfer payments to state, tribal and local governments only cover infrastructure, education and health care for the poor. Nothing to do with military bases at all.

Nothing fails the people like Republicans in government.
This is where the money goes:
Medicaid and CHIP
General purpose fiscal assistance
Housing assistance
Elementary and secondary education
Highway transportation
Disaster relief
Child and social services
Railroad transportation
Public health
