I would like to see a slow down of Federal dollars flowing into California. As on of the most liberal states fiscal wise, the rest of the U.S shouldn’t be subsidizing dubious California subsidy programs.

If they [California’s] want to fund illegal alien’s work, school, medical and other social programs, let it come from their own general tax revenues.

California is actually one of the highest (7th) in the nation that pays more federal taxes than they receive back in federal funds. For every dollar they send to Washington, they only get .78 cents back. They spend almost 1/4 of their GDP on programs for residents in other states.
