How about the next time the Mississippi flows over its banks and floods or a tornado wipes out a town in the south or midwest, as happens every spring, we just tell them to move somewhere else.

false....quit lying
your statement would be false...your forgot all the money of the following:
sorry you are miss informed
if you look at all the federal money that goes to California...it is way more than what cali pays in taxes
what most don't count:
all your national guard troops and facilities.....paid for by the federal government
all the military bases (32 of them), and the 40 thousand federal troops....paid for by the federal government.......and all those Soldiers, Marines, Airmen and Sailors who work there...spend FEDERAL MONEY IN CALIFORNIA
all the defense contractors.... (55 billion worth)
the 28 national parks, and its federal employees (which you receive federal monies for)
36 national natural landmarks (for which you receive federal money for upkeep)....
145 national historic landmarks(for which you receive federal money for upkeep...
9 wild and scenic rivers...managed and paid by the national parks service....paid for by the federal government
******45% of all California LAND IS FEDERAL OWNED******... 45 million acres are federally owned...in otherwords California owns just over half of its self
then there is the money Cali OWES the federal government....California borrowed $10 billion from the federal government to shore up its recession-battered Unemployment Insurance Fund. Even though the state’s economy is now booming, it still owes the feds about $8 billion.
California is paying interest on the loan, an estimated $174.5 million this year, according to a new report from the state Employment Development Department, and the balance is shrinking only because in lieu of direct payments, the Department of Labor has raised taxes on employers.
not to mention all the 'other' federal agencies that have FEDERAL employees in California....200,000 FEDERAL employees (most making atleast 60k)... you lose all that FEDERAL incomes and revenue that the FEDERAL government GIVES your state...these employees SPEND money in your state
then look at all the FEDERAL money going to secondary schools:
BS USC-Berkeley --$370 million in funding from the federal government
USC- Los Angeles-- $250 million in 2016
UCLA and its two sister campus' get 9 billion in federal funds annually
.....$3 billion in research grants. Nearly four-fifths of the funds are awarded by the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation. UC is the nation’s largest recipient of federal funding for research and related projects, with UC San Francisco, UC San Diego and UCLA receiving the largest grants.
.....$3.5 billion to UC medical centers for Medicare and Medicaid patients.
.....$1.6 billion in financial aid to UC students for federal Pell Grants, work-study awards, graduate fellowships and other grants and scholarships.
.....$800 million to operate the federal Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
UCLA’s budget is approximately $6.7 billion. State funding accounts for only six percent of total revenues
About 39 percent of undergraduates receive Pell Grants, federal aid
University of California, San Diego....Total federal R&D grant money 2016 : $637 million
Stanford University........................ Total federal R&D grant money 2016 : $656 million....Stanford took in nearly $72 million from the Department of Defense and $445 million from HHS
45.8% of California land is FEDERAL OWNED
nearly half of cali is federal owned....hmmm
