How much government money has already been given to California? I would make them account for it.
California is the 5th biggest economy in the world. I’m pretty sure that we generate more in federal taxes than we use.
Of course most of what we generate goes to making life easier for the citizens of other countries illegally living in the United States, so there’s that.
Bingo! California gets Billions from uncle Fed. Do an audit, before sending them another nickel.
