The only argument I can see that California has for a Fed bailout is the requirement that California has to pay for the illegals education, health care, etc...

This, I think, would be their only leg to stand on when requesting $$$ from the Feds.

Outside of that, they have no standing.

Liberals criticized Enron when it did accounting tricks to show the company was healthier than it actually was. Yet they have no problem using the same gimmicks to disguise the true state of California's finances from its citizens. The chickens are finally coming home to roost!

Why shift the problem to the OTHER states? Our state (CA) has NO BACKBONE. They should ask the Feds to CLOSE the border. But maybe they’re all socialists who WANT to bankrupt the nation.

I vote the latter explanation.

I don’t think California has a case for a bailout even on the grounds of their large illegal population. California’s illegal immigrant problem is largely of their own making. They’ve done everything short of building a bullet train to Mexico City to welcome all those future Democrat voters into the state.
