Billions to the Fed in income taxes for The Presidency and all involved, the Senate and all involved, the House and all involved, courts, defense, federal services, Parks, UN, etc. Being the most populous it is inevitable. However it means very little to the average person in CA as the Fed rates are the same for all tax payers.

Ocean front property all over CA would be very affordable after all of that.

Now I'm hoping even more for calexit

The Trump election gives me more hope than I've had in eight years! Kick all the illegals out! I'm Mexican heritage myself, but I have ZERO tolerance for illegals.

I think Trump will put an end to the Saudi's purposely flooding our markets with cheap oil in an attempt to put our own oil companies out of business. My husband hasn't worked in close to two years and I am now hopeful American drilling will pick up again.

Fact: California has a higher rate of poverty than any other state or the District Of Columbia.

And it has been like that for years.

Just think, almost 1/4th of California residents are living in poverty now.

Hopefully Trump will be able to get things moving again, and lower the misery of poverty from many of these poor people.

I don't know... Washington is comprised of two VERY different places... those in King County and Olympia and the rest of the State. Almost to a last one my friends outside these areas are greatly bothered by King County...

On so many issues the Governors of Oregon, Washington and California are in lockstep... even when petitioning the Federal Government...

My time in Olympia reminds me of Berkeley California... the military protests, riots when the troops were coming home, street people, counter culture etc... just like Berkeley...

Oldtrader: that is true. The central valley, especially the western side, is in a sorry state indeed. The mess is as follows.

Proposition 13 and similar tax breaks for old time land/homeowners

Encouragement of surburban sprawl...which then precipitated the housing crash.

Public funding subsidizing an overextended agricultural system...which is now buckling under drought and the simple fact that various folks promised more water than was available. Few folk want to live in the dust bowl. Thankfully fokks fought corporate interests that would have thrown the Delta under the bus.


Right now we are out of the deficit and paying off the debt. The stuff that got us into debt are decidedly right wing things to do.

You do realize that the emissions emitted now by cars is only 2% of what it was in the 70"s? When you hear we need a 50% reduction they are exaggerating the 1% they still want to change.

You do realize the major cause of the housing crisis was the left wing insistence that houses and mortgages be given to anyone, even with no proof of income. Freddy and Fanny May were given over to huge abuse. Oh and Wall Street that donated so much to ..... Hillary, as they support the Left and benefit from it. Both parties contributed to it because, .... stupid people put ideology ahead of common sense.
