Well, Texas got 4 more seats in the House. Perhaps there is another explanation -- maybe people are fleeing (along with businesses) California.

“It cuts away at our share of the $400 billion a year that the federal government doles out to states.”

That’s the new American way - if things don’t work the way you want them ton sue. Really though, how could Californians elect such a dolt? That statement alone should have had him committed to the Home for the Critically Insane!

News flash to Monnbeam: Lay oof the stash before speaking in public. The federal overnment has ZERO money to “dole” out. If you want more money, don’t send it to Versailles on the Potomac in the first place. Secondly, by wanting more “doled” out money, you are making the state subservient to the federal government; instead of the constitutional reverse. Lastly, you want redistribution; you got it.

The illegals did not WANT to be counted!

[july4thfreedomfoundation]

I once heard that California has 4 House seats MORE than it should have because illegal aliens were included in previous census counts.

It cuts away at our share of the $400 billion a year that the federal government doles out to states.

That's pretty arrogant... and totally clueless of where the money is coming from.

Sure and residents should be legal citizens.

Do you have a Source for this thread?

Is there a link, CW? thanks

The Founders neglected to put a bar on lawsuits against the Census in the Constitution. They didn’t realize that the nation would end up beholden to douchebag lawyers.

Well, how do they determine the number of residents in their state? Do they just take a number out of the air? "So, let see, I think we have this number."

Don't you have to prove the number of residents?

Why can't all the other states do the same thing? So much for the census.

On Tuesday, the Census Bureau released national and state population figures that declared California to have 37.3 million residents,

I remember when it was 12 million, and I'm not yet 60.

Eureka city schools have lost 45% of their enrollment and closed 3 elementary and 2 Jr High Schools in the past 10 to 15 years. Humboldt county schools are hurting also as the logging industries have been brought their knees by the Marxist green Red movement..

People are fleeing CA in droves, espeically conservatives. We left CA last year, my Sister in Law and my mother and father in law left this year, several of my friends moved the past couple of years.

It isn’t safe, the taxes are high (and getting higher), the gun laws are bad and I am sick and tired of seeing illegals fly Mexican flags.

I took my mother out there last month (she winters out there) and I realized just how ‘over’ CA I was. Not even homesick (born and raised there) and couldn’t wait to get back to America.

And it wouldn’t surprise me in the least that CA thinks that there are more people then what was counted. They think that snowbirds are residents, illegals are residents and for some reason think my husband and I still live there.

whaa whaa whaa

[newzjunkey]

That's a ridiculous number of people to be undercounted. Obviously we'll be hearing about statistical models instead of actual counting again. Bah.

For those complaining about CA wanting more money from the Feds, CA does get less from the Feds than CA taxpayers send to them. CA gets 78 cents per dollar. That's less than 40+ other states.

Someone had better warn our Chinese bankers... Pigafornia is heading back to the trough...

[cranked]

"Residents"? lulz, more like 1.5 million illegals... =.=

[Texas Eagle]

...a discrepancy that if true could cost the state billions of dollars in federal aid over the next decade...

Interesting take. Why is there no consternation over the potential decrease of money to the treasury?

I mean, it's simple arithmetic. Fewer residents, fewer taxpayers.

[Texas Eagle]

California officials estimate that the U.S. Census Bureau failed to count 1.5 million of the state's residents...

Did they look in Mexico?

[Tzimisce]

According to liberals, California is one of the richest, most prosperous states in the US, if not the world.

Californians should be happy that their wealth is going to their poorer neighbors.

Instead they’re angry about it.
