Jack 💩 and false hopes

$175.00 per person should do it.

It does seem like this can be used for leverage. We need to play hardball all the way.

Cut off all funding for abortion, transgenderism, pride celebrations and promotions, etc.

“Never let a crisis go to waste”, Trump style. I like it

Not without some pre-conditions - give the federal government complete control over California's forest management and water management, since California government has proven completely incapable of both tasks.

Expecting the rest of us to pay for the consequences of California's idiotic election decisions without these pre-conditions should be a non-starter.

All hurricane and flood victims in the Southeast get the same aid and get it before the California fire victims get theirs.

Absolutely right!

HA HA

that didn’t take long. California can’t print US dollars into existence, or monetize debt via the Federal Reserve

But Fed.gov can!

Just another way our printed, fiat money system supports all leftists, their grift, their propaganda, and their social engineering.

Those idiotic decisions will not change. In fact, the wealthy LA liberal elites will be writing campaign donation checks to their Democrat candidates in less than two years.

Californians voted their way into this crisis. Let them tax their way out of it.

Not one cent should be given o California’s governments until they quit wasting money and start addressing the forests, the water supply and the government rot. The only aid that the feds should give is directly to individual victims. Not one $@&% dime for the State of California, only to Californian citizens.

I’d prefer to see the Helena victims finally get genuine help first, then we’ll talk. If additional money is an issue, cut NATO funding, pare back UN involvement to the bare minimum, and reduce the state department to a skeleton crew that can’t dispense one thin dime without an accounting colonoscopy.

Bingo! This is a must. I’d also add in election process reforms/voter id requirements before a single penny is sent to California

Can you imagine if a major earthquake hit Southern Cal right now? Or a tsunami?

Malibu. What’s funny is the burned down houses on the beach. A whole ocean and no pumps.
