California is a mess because of liberal governance and illegal residents - but it has wonderful weather, a wealth of natural resources, and numerous innovative businesses (I work for one) that have not (yet) been driven out of the State due to the anti-business climate.
The U.S.A. would be much the poorer for its loss of California.
Which State was the first to elect that ideological fire brand Ronald Reagan? What State does Free Republic come from?
I didn’t say get rid of CA, I just said let’s wall it off and only let certain people out. Look how the granola eating, environmental whining, animal rights socialists have spread across the continent!! First to AZ and OR and WA, then on to NM, CO....and so on.....YIKES!
Politically, California was a very different place when it elected Reagan than it is now. It also used to elect Republican senators and mayors of major cities.
Many people want to make some present day comparisons to Reagan's era and none of them really fit. Times have changed.
