The problem is, well for us in the other 49, we’ll be picking up California’s tab.
Can the rest of the country just vote them off the island?
You folks are contributing $40 million per day to California’s unemployment compensation fund. We wish to express our appreciation for this “loan” to our state. (Suckers) This sentiment is not mine but that of those up in the state capitol.

I’m in CA; many here on FR live in CA — some plan to leave; if I had a business or young family I’d leave. Instead I stay and fight, and go Galt to the extent possible.
I sincerely hope other states do NOT get stuck with CA’s bills — racked up because ‘voters’ are overwhelmingly leftwing nutjobs, govt. workers, union members, immigrants dragged into voting ‘blue’ with promises of more and more freebies.
This has been a LONG time coming and old Jerry Brown shares a good part of the blame for it though certainly not all. CA has been beckoning ‘takers’ of all types for decades now via its various policies — especially cheap prices for college for out of staters. Not good!
Maybe, but you don't have to.
If you elect enough conservatives and Republicans with a spine, you can use the House to starve California of any cash.
The result, insolvency, will put the state in the hands of a Federal judge that will impose on California only the policies needed to make the state solvent.
