then you'd be defunding all these other fed programmes, right?

No you are just pooling it into a central fund

No additional money taken from the federal government

so what is happening with all that money currently

It’s divided up to go to specific things

which specific things

It’s almost a states rights issue

these specific things would stop receiving these funds

No

so there is this massive amount of money that currently is being spent in "specific things" that wouldn't make any difference if the money were to be reallocated to something else

let CA go for it then, so long as that fed spending is not on fed-run stuff within the state

It’s money that needs to be released and moved around prob so they would have more control of federal funding, they would create a central trust fund

They are not allowed

you'd need to address what specific things are these and if CA should really be able to do away with them

that's a States rights issue

Let the states do as they please

I generally agree

Yet the federal government stops them

several states want to remove all restrictions on gun acquisition

let them

Small states telling big states with more people what to do

If they leave the union I would take that deal

16 year olds from CA should be able to drive to AZ and buy a bazooka in Walmart no questions asked

I’m just not seeing how Nebraska helps me

Well they can buy it but they can’t bring it back in to California

that's for CA to police the entire border

Right

they'll regain an appreciation for borders

Heh

The United States is stable because it's a union

I don’t mind keeping a bunch of outsiders out of California , all you have to do is not bring in your weapons

you'll find that your wishes need to be enforced to be workable

If you can’t do that then that’s fine

If it would split, even the states might fight each other. Most of CA doesn't even like the bay area

Yeah well the powerhouse of the United States economically will Be just fine

Not if people keep leaving lol

it's bankrupt though

@nachik, you just advanced to level 7!

How many businesses are fleeing CA

big pop, big GDP, huge debt

People are leaving due to over population , a consequence of being too appealing
