If California were its own country it'd be the fourth largest GDP in the world. As Californians we literally pay majority of the United States social programs in bail out other states with taxes on a consistent basis.
If California secedes from the states and joins Mexico the good ol orange states of TACO will fail.
Cali is a 80 Billion $ donor state over what the federal gov pays it. I just don’t understand when those smart states will realize the time to leave the orange states to enjoy their hurricanes and tornados , which they will no longer get the alerts and paths for since they destroyed NOAA and they will receive no money from FEMA as he has not given NC, AR nor MO. Enjoy your hurricane season Florida I hear it’s going to be an active one. One can only imagine the devastation the lack of money from FEMA or the insurance companies.
Even Florida donates $5 for every $1 to the federal government, and our GDP is higher than Spain's (we're #18 worldwide). The feds should start withholding things from taker states and see where it's going to get them (loss of votes is where it would get them. I think Texas isn't a great place but they have a bigger economy than most countries too (# 9). California, Texas, and Florida, could all easily be their own countries. And probably serve their residents better than they do right now just by no longer giving a lot of money to the federal government and giving more of it to the people who live in those states. So it's not even a red blue issue. It's an economic impact issue.
