Our state is faring better in the recession...FAR better...than yours and most others.
As far as government funds, our state budget has a surplus, yours has a terrible deficit.
Don't forget we send more tax dollars to the feds every year than we get back in federal programs, stimulas, etc... Which means that we are supporting other states. nuf said

Exactly...California probably (I don't know for sure) gets back MORE than it sends.
If we seceded and became our own country, yes the state would have to impose new taxes, but they'd be far less than our tax burden as a part of the U.S. And every dollar of it would stay here.

Sorry, genius! but Texas gets far more federal money than California & New York combined. Welfare state like all the other Southern states living off Yankees.

First, you need to provide a link. I don't believe it for a second.
Second, you never answered my post addressing your state's budget problems and how terrible of an impact the recession has had on your state. Do me a favor and at least admit that we win on this one!
I should add that I eventually became someone who was not so fond of Bush. I am, however, a Perry supporter. Don't equate the two as you foolishly did in a previous post.
Location: I currently exist only in a state of mind. one too complex for geographic location.

Oh please, Google it. Let's see, California has a state income tax of like 10.25%, Texas has none. CA & NY are the welfare states. Which state is about to go bankrupt.......CA. Yes that's right.

That means the dems should be able to take Texas in 2012 assuring that a democrat will always be in the White House.

they have to go somewhere after liberal policies destroy their home states. look at what labor unions did to the rust belt. liberals don't reproduce that frequently though, so that might be a problem for you. all liberal women are single, ugly, and angry, and all liberal men are fruits. kind of hard to pass that down when you can't reproduce.

The common complaint in California is that we get very little back from all that is provided to the federal government [per CNN report yesterday -maybe someone will look it up].
Second, when a state like California provides subsidized medical coverage well beyond any other state [Medi-Cal], generous employment benefits, strong union support, extensive leave coverage, social programs for underprivileged children & disabled, etc. We also have "sanctuary" cities [Los Angeles, San Francisco, Berkeley, etc] to help immigrants, etc. These expenses can not be maintained without federal assistance.
