Can anyone here think of a good reason why the people in Kentucky, Texas or North Dakota should pay the salaries of California's legions of bureaucrats?

If Biden wins, the money fire-hose to Blue state governments, their employee pension funds and their vast array of government-supported social workers and street agitators is going to be opened full-blast

They’ll call it “stimulus” just like Obama did in 2009

No, and I can point to the Texas economic collapse of 1986 wherein CA senators and reps blocked aid to Texas with the same rationale. It needs to be repaid.

It’s just “federal money”. Nobody has to pay for it, ever. Just print more. Not sure what they teach in economics classes anymore.

History has taught us that as California’s government grows California’s “progressivism” gets exported as her people flee.

California’s public schools, colleges, universities and state workers’ salaries all stand to be hit.

Finally and they should also reduce the workforce by 25%.

I’m in CA, and I’ve pulled my high school sophomore out of public school this year and put her in private, and my high school senior is looking at only well run, red states for college: colleges that are already reopened, unlike Cal State and UC that threw in the towel early and have announced they will not reopen for in person education ALL YEAR. Why would I pay any tuition for that? Tuition is $15k/year, even for CA residents. Forget it.

So I don’t care about CA’s alleged “budget cuts” for schools (or anything else).

Too bad for them. I’ve taken their “customers” (students) elsewhere, and out of their clutches and away from their indoctrination. They can (and will!) tax me, but no more college tuition dollars or ‘average daily attendance” allotment $$ for K-12 children will be coming from me.

So CA spends like there is no tomorrow on stupid stuff including health care for illegals and now they want federal tax money to help out??

The nerve of these morons.

Go tell your buddies in silicon valley and hollywood that their taxes are going up.

DiFi and Kam’la as Senators? What do you expect in return for your state-sponsored ‘higher’ education camps aka public schools let loose as an electorate?

It’s what’s in it for them. For DiChiFi and hubby,, millions and millions off of gubamint contracts.. for kam’la, a place to burn to the ground, the WH.

From corrupt bidding to coddling criminals .. It’s almost like the old days.

I hope they go bankrupt. I hope Trump rolls tanks into Sacramento, arrests the leadership, and puts the state under martial law until Constitutional order can be restored, and fair elections held.

Funny how there is never a shortage of funds for all the freebies to non-citizens.

" With federal aid stalled, California is unlikely to get money to offset budget cuts.

Wait... What?
They cut the budget... that means spending less money, doesn't it?

But they want federal money to offset the money they supposedly aren't spending?

It would be funny to reverse Pelosi’s Big Blue Bailout and send extra cash to states that will go for Trump.
