There’s a Freeper who keeps banging the drum how California is the 8th biggest economy and could easily fund a trillion in bonds to pay their share of the national debt if they secede. Meanwhile in Reality Land, the state is broke.
What he forgets is that if California were freed of the constraints of the Constitution, they would quickly become a socialist state and industry would flee there as quickly as they could find a place to relocate.
Wasn’t that long ago that they were the 5th largest economy in the world...
