Mint their own gold coins ...

From what gold?

They can't mine anymore, Save de Erf!

I suppose they can start taking the grillz from "artists".

Democrats can barely keep the state government and now they want to stick it with a huge bill.

Where are they going to get the gold? Didn’t they all but ban mining in CA, or is that just for Americans?

Kalifornica could pass anything they want. They would attract all the sick people all over the world which would have no trouble getting across the border then the first to get healthcare before it went insolvent would be the winners. The Tax Payers as usual are the loser.

I’m fairly sure they will get no Federal tax money to fund it, if Trump gets any Congressional support. Let them go bankrupt sooner, I guess. It will happen sooner or later, and I’m sure the inevitable bail out will come with strings this time.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

California could mandate that everyone becomes an astronaut and goes into space.

Doesn’t mean it wouldn’t be a disaster, but that’s never stopped our state’s idiot horde before.

Democrats have a super majority; confiscate all the men's (this is California we're discussing) and women's gold earrings, rings, and other jewelry to make the coins. They can use a pyramid on the obverse and a calf on the reverse.

It ain’t ready for prime time.

Vermont passed one. As far as I know, they still have not been able to implement it.

They are reaching out and up from the swirling bowl to reach that flush handle one more time.

I think it was Milton Friedman who said that “It’s just obvious you can’t have free immigration and a welfare state,”

People in 49 states, Mexico, South America, Cuba, Canada and the Euro trash countries can cancel their health-insurance.

Also, the 49 states and countries mentioned above can stop spending billions on health care. They just have to buy one way tickets to the former Golden state for their serious ill and bed ridden citizens.

Then, when something bad health wise happens, they can herd or send their sick to California and leave the CA taxpayers with the bill...Nothing will kill liberalism faster than the CA billionaires actually having to pay for what they are advocating.,,,

Then, we cut off all the water, electricity and natural gas from the state of Jefferon to CalExit, followed by a 300% tax on the food raised in the State of Jefferson shipped to Cal Exit. That will help pay for a 30’ wall between the state of Jefferson and Calexit.

Mexico will build and pay for a wall to prevent Calexit illegals from going back or to Mexico.

Medi-Cal, the California state version of Medicaid, has been around for a long time. When I was working a minimum-wage agri-business job in the San Joaquin Valley in 1973, it was part of the deductions on the paycheck. What benefits were payable were the absolute minimum then, as one of my co-workers was disabled, and essentially had to take disability under Social Security, because the Medi-Cal benefits were less than enough to cover the medical condition, let alone form much of a safety net.

The situation is probably much worse now.
