I'm talking about the dollar value of the California welfare state, which you incorrectly tried to calculate, and which I kindly reminded you of it's actual dollar size since I actually do know what I'm talking about having dealt with government contracts as part of the SBA and knowing how basic accounting rules work (something you clearly have never had experience dealing with).

My main point was for all the money spent, California has shown very little reduction in poverty. In fact the poverty has remained relatively unchanged but the size of the welfare state's budget has grown, greatly. Everything else was a distraction you tried to create in some weird attempt to deflect away from the fact that you know I'm right, and all the measurements and metrics show I'm right.

I love Boomer humor.

Now since we've established that you need to do more reading on this topic, I'm going to draw some "dog faced pony soldiers".

Lots of words there but you still aren't able to explain the inconsistency in those two posts. But troll on Cali, if all you've got is snark then that's a good sign that you've been boxed into a corner.

When progressive minded people get priced out of California they are going to move to where the less progressives moved to prior but they would bring their lobbying with them and make their "new" state of domicile just like the one they left behind.

For the one on the water, i bet many times not withiin Calilfornia anymore. I be curious how much this poster pays to fill up his boat? I guess its t probably a sailboat.

It seems there are a lot of people living in California who would continuously compare California with social Democracies in the European Union and would comment in how California taxation as still too low compared to EU countries and continue to lobby for social programs and higher taxes.

Go to another forum, i.e. Nevada or Arizona and every day post numerous posts about how awful those states are and let the readers know that you don't live in their state and see how long it takes to get a negative reaction. I have no problem with people posting negative stuff, but when it's every day, all day long it gets really old and is for all intents and purposes nothing more than trolling.

Or deep seated bitterness and jealousy.

I'm sorry if that makes it difficult, but government accounting is a thing, and you definitely should read more, and post less, if you want to seem credible while discussing the topic.

Here's a book from an author my accountant recommended to me when I used to run my business. It's the newest 2019 edition. Hope it helps you.

I still remember complaining about paying gas for $1.59 per gallon in 2001 to my husband.
