Californication already gives half of its students free college and the rest it charges the lowest fees in America already. FYI.
How will California pay for ANYTHING?
Same as always - whoever makes the loudest clamor, gets paid first. When whatever funds they have run out, then the authorities pay nobody, and they go crying to the Feds that they are “broke”.
The Feds say, “Sure, we would provide some cash, but you have to comply with some of our requirements first.”
At which point, the California authorities reply , “Oh HELL no!”
Pride and defiance have a surprisingly high price tag.
