And the rest of the U.S. has to fund the government and service social security and the debt without money from California, support the war without a good part of the Pacific fleet or a big chunk of the air force, and the western U.S. is forced to pay higher prices for goods because California says so, or face a cut off of those goods altogether. How fair is that to the people who aren’t leaving?
No funding of the Kalifornia government. Whats the use of secession if you are still going to turn to the feds for funding? I don’t think the Confederates were asking for anything from the federal government. My point is it would probably be very inconvenient for awhile if Kalifornia were to secede but do you really think a bunch of liberals could stand on their own 2 feet for very long much less run a country?
Besides, without Kalifornia, we could probably win elections a whole lot easier.
