Hold up. I want them to pay the costs of Federal policy that were the result of California voting Liberal for all those years. Also, you are only covering the acknowledged debt.
The United States has over 100 trillion in unfunded liabilities as a result of Liberal policies implemented by the Federal Government.
The benefits of CA leaving would far outweigh any financial consideration. Without the 55 EV’s the Dems would have a hard time winning Presidential elections.
