I fully support California’s right to exit the union. In fact, I believe it is the best idea I have heard from the leftists. Unfortunately, I see substantial roadblocks:

1. Socialists are moochers and an entirely independent California would not have a federal teet to suckle from.
2. Other leftists in the union would fight tooth and nail to keep them in the union.

Conservatives need to sop repeating the lie that California takes more than it gives in federal dollars. It’s simply not true. It makes us no different than the liberals who live in bbbkes with their own “facts.” The truth is numbers from 2013 14 show california paying in $369B and receiving $343B.
If CA did secede I have not doubt that without the restraint of the Republicans in congress those billions managed on their own would quickly become an upside down disaster just like CA state budget is now.
