DOD probably provided 50% of California’s wealth since the 2nd WW. Those times are gone.

My current DoD contract gig is in San Diego as I have to be onsite to do it. CA is getting my state income tax even though I'm a resident of Idaho. If the spigot goes dry, I'm going to be packed and headed home to Idaho overnight. The financial drag of renting a room, paying the high cost of living on the San Diego economy and high CA sales and income taxes are unsustainable if the paycheck stops. The jackasses in CA put Obama back in office. I won't have a moment's reticence to head directly home. I've had to be away from my family since June 2009 because of Obama.
