OPINION: We can’t keep rebuilding flood-ravaged homes

[Sailor]

There are a lot of ways to dice up the stats, but none of them are flattering to the SE US. Be that as it may, yes California is interdependent on the federal government. California provides the federal government with major cash. It is the 6th largest economy in the whole world stand alone. If one state could build a wall and call itself a country doing bilateral trade deals where it wished, it's California. The economy isn't a one trick pony like Texas or Alaska. We don't tank when oil prices go down like Texas and its BFF Russia do.

You are truly delusional. I mean out there in who the hell knows where. If the federal government took away just your grants, federal aid and the military, CA would have the economy of Puerto Rico. Pipe down and learn something for Christ sake.
