Why do they ask the US for money if they are a stand alone country?
This is very close to where you live. Check it out. |
| phil2237 | California could never stand on its own, They can't even stay within their budget. We were 1.2 billion in the hole before these storms hit last couple weeks. Now Our governor I is asking Trump for over a 100 million just to repair the storm damage. I hope Trump tells him to give up the Illegals, then we will talk money. Seems California spends about 25 billion a year on Illegals. All California does is try to raise taxes and chase big business's away. We will soon be a retirement state |
| reechee | Gort, I know you are aware of the existence of the political forum. That is where this belongs. Real patriots are in favor of the UNITED States. Not just the red ones who agree with you. We have 12% of the nation's population. We generate 13% of the U.S. GDP. What have I ever done to you? Why do you continue to goad me on this issue?

So why does Ca. need 100 billion dollars? You've never sounded like a Patriot to me. All you post is Anti US Pro Ca. Are you making a big change in life. If so..it's about time. As long as you attack USA I'll goad you on this forum. See you in the Politcal Forum This message has been edited by Gort on 02-19-2017 at 06:38 PM |
| reechee | No, tell me how am anti-US. Being against Trump is not anti US. On the contrary, it is most patriotic. You don't get to define patriotism. California did not secede in the civil war like Tennessee. |

"You don't get to define patriotism." Hundreds of flies flying around an outhouse...pretty good sign something is going on. When is the last time someone called you a Patriot? Someone trying to enflame the country by saying a state should drop out is not a Patriot. They may be a Patriot for the state dropping out but not the USA. I don't know you or want to know you but I would bet you are not a veteran (at least of the USA)
The only thing we have in common is a Prowler. |
| reechee | No, I did not serve. I was not physically able. If it scores any brownie points, my son is in the military. When did I support California secession? This message has been edited by reechee on 02-19-2017 at 07:56 PM |

Hmmmmmmm ....25 B goes a long way toward that WALL !!! |
| reechee | State officials have estimated that services which go to California's illegal population add between $4 billion and $6 billion to state spending. The lion's share of that money goes to provide public education to children who are here illegally.

| G Carter | I wish Calif would pull out of the U.S.....then there would never be another liberal elected to the Presidency. |
| Randy Cobb | I don't CA out of the US and think most people feel the same way. Beautiful scenery and rich resources. I just wish they would get their act together culturally and politically. |
| mslc10 | They had their act together until unfettered/unbridled immigration drove their voting population liberal
see below: http://www.npr.org/sections/itsallpolitics/2013/07/01/196337571 /how-to-turn-a-red-state-blue-california-edition
You see, illegals may not be able to vote (cough,cough) but in just 18-20 years, their 2-4 kids will be able to. and in another year or two another batch of 1-3 will be eligible. So in 20 years you can multiply the supposed "can't vote" population by 2-4 times!!!
And the great thing is you probably paid for all their medical, food stamps,car insurance (if they have it) ....oops ..sorry ..im not supposed to ask....!!!
