Easy. SS is now pay-as-you-go. CA would create its own SSA and Californians would send in their 7.5% to them instead of the DC version.
>>> What about California’s share of the $20 trillion national debt? Does California have to absorb that and pay it off?? Or can they just walk away from it?
Proportional taxation says they would pay 1/10 of that debt. $2 Trillion. That debt would be negotiated and could be paid off with CA bonds. They would assume their own part of the debt.
>>> What about all the military bases in California? They are American bases; will California have its own army and navy?
CA would become part of NATO. We could negotiate using the the bases in CA. Just like in the other NATO countries.
So the US military and its assets would transition to CA? How would that work?
The state has a national guard but is under funded and the equipment is not as good as the Feds.
