"It’s a bluff. The career welfare recipients (and they are considerable) would burn down the state".

Count on it...both of your contentions are true and certain.

The feds (49 other states) will pick up the tab to keep California's cities from burning to the ground.

I think they already have.

The other 49 states will need to shut their borders.

When Michigan was in financial trouble in the late 70s-early 80s, the welfare entities started to push welfare-for-lifers into various federal programs; that wasn’t uncommon throughout the country.

For starters, we need a complete, multi-layer border fence with Mexico, including various types of electronic frontier technology (listening for tunnelling, motion detection, etc). Next, we need a roundup of illegals and their deportation should be enabled by a large increase in INS staffing and budget (watch someone here call that “socialist” in 3,2,1...).

Not going to happen.

The state would literally burn to the ground.

Come to think of it, this will happen one way or another. If you are near a major metro, might want to update you bug out plan.

Hey, unemployment is not government money. Your employer paid into an insurance fund for that.

The Kos kids are arguing this point over at their therapy session and its an ugly debat of feminized butch boys with “racist” being flung high and tight.

Wow, if California starts axing huge chunks of old leftist programs and then followed up with tax cuts...

Businesses could go home too! Remember when California was the land of opportunity - and folks were told to "go West young man". Now it's the land of liberal radicals, the lushed up "homeless", gay rights activists, illegals, Hollyweirdos, and cradle to grave entitlements. Oh, and they're all broke. Looking for a handout.
