Interesting, California is singled out yet other parts of the nation experience the same. We’re all in this together, we fall together as one.
Birthrate yes, but welfare no. Other states are experiencing the same reduced birthrate as California, but the welfare cost is far lower in all other states. California has 35% of all Americans on welfare.
There are over 60 million people on welfare. So 49 states are supporting 40 million welfare recipients, while California alone pays for 20 million people on welfare. California has 38 million people or about 10% of all Americans.
So california is paying at least tripple the rate of most other states and perhaps 4 times as much.
So California tax payers are getting hit far harder by this than other states.
I am nearly retired and living for the day I take my tax dollars with me to Virginia and give Commiefornia my financial middle finger.
