It might be, but where can I sign to keep a dime of my federal taxes from bailing their sorry asses out when it’s time to pay the piper? If Californians really, really want to send illegals to college I suppose that’s their right, under the State’s Rights argument, but don’t make ME pay for their bailout (which the price of sending illegals to college will hasten).
Well, that's just the thing. If your a lefty Californian, you know perfectly well that the gravy train is going to keep rolling for awhile. Our federal tax dollars will keep going to bail these irresponsible people out for years to come - and they know it. Eventually the whole rotten system will collapse in places like CA, NY, and IL, but we may be a long way yet from all this spending finally catching up to them. If the GOP wins at least the House, just cutting off the state/union bailouts will be a significant victory for us.
Californians will continue their irresponsibility until they literally can't do it anymore. Once state aid/union bailouts finally end (assuming the GOP actually wins at least the House), the next step for Californians will be to raise state taxes further and further until the goose that laid the proverbial golden egg is well and truly dead. This is the natural progression of the social welfare state.
