California officials estimate that the U.S. Census Bureau failed to count 1.5 million of the state's residents, a discrepancy that if true could cost the state billions of dollars in federal aid over the next decade and perhaps an increase in its representation in Congress.

Interesting take. Why is there no consternation over the potential decrease of money to the treasury?

I mean, it's simple arithmetic. Fewer residents, fewer taxpayers.

Californians and businesses have been leaving the state ever since Schwarzenegger started to capitulate to the State Legislature and foist anti business policies like cap and trade and a green agenda in the state.

Well, to be fair to Schwarzekennedy, the exodus began under Gray "Grayout" Davis.

It's hard to business when you don't know when you are going to have electricity.

Granted, not many of those businesses that left under Davis came back under Schwarzobama but you get the picture.

“much of the discrepancy may be due to those who have left the state along with the half-a-million that crossed the border since last July.”

Califormia census takers failed to count the people living in the cemetary’s. Shocking, California should have asked Illinois census takers, they are well trained in cemetary census taking.

Read the book. I’ll bet you don’t know 5% of what he did to our nation. It is really shocking.

According to liberals, California is one of the richest, most prosperous states in the US, if not the world.

Californians should be happy that their wealth is going to their poorer neighbors.

Instead they’re angry about it.

“We already have all that going on here because IT IS ILLEGAL. They’ll be growing on the former vineyards of Napa county when it is legalized...”

It is amazing how many vineyard plantings have pulled out, bull dozed and burnt with more to come.

We are hearing rumblings of replanting Christmas trees, strawberries and other edible crops where the vineyards were.

Wouldn’t it be refreshing to hear - *JUST ONCE* -

‘No thanks we have enough subsidies. Give them to others who are perhaps more needy.’

CALIFORNIA = 30 million litigious, insatiable, socialist thieving bass turds
