Could America afford to give up California?

Yes it does.

No it doesn't

You can only vote on one answer.

A user on here says America would fold without Californias economy. What are your thoughts? Does Californias economy prop up the rest of the country?

Half of the exodus of Californians are moving to Texas to enhance the oil, tech, cattle and farming industries we share in common while paying no state taxes, open up a business in a week that takes CA months if not years and can literally see their net income increase 40% overnight. What's not to leave? They've been shooting themselves in both feet for years - let them, we'll manage. Glad I left, what a strange trip that was.

@DudeistPriest I’ve noticed a lot of california plates lately

@DudeistPriest Two years ago I thought about building a house in Northern California. The building permit was going to be $80,000. Then sewer, water and electricity. $200,000 before one shovel of dirt could be moved.

Yep, I heard about that at work. They must be getting desperate.

@Stereoguy It’s called californcation. The very liberals that have voted for the crap that has made California unlivable are leaving and taking their liberal views with them to screw up other states.

@jackson55 That's the downside. They'll wake from their tax and spend addiction stupor soon enough. You can't tax your way out of your problems.

Will the last person to leave CA please turn out the light?
