Those are already in place a) B) That tax base would rapidly expand. As poorest in the nation at first yes probably. But wouldn't be for long that's for sure. We are strategically located in CA. We are a major transport hub and corridor, we are the biggest ag producers in the nation bar none, and we have major oilfields and one of the biggest potential oilfields in the nation. If we became a separate state, silicon valley would be in our rearview mirror so to speak. We would end up a very wealthy well off state. State spending is at the discretion of the STATE who likes to **** us. Notice the electrical rates. And high speed rail. Both of which **** us and hard. We would prefer the opportunity to make our own way, we are sitting pretty with what we got if we can our hands untied.

It could well happen that way. Right now, parts of the Central Valley are being compared to Appalachia, with the latter coming off the richest. A lot of that is the numbers of illegals who have no education and depend on farmwork to survive.

Divided they stand? Billionaire in push to carve up California into six states | Fox News

If they could do seven rather than just six it would make Obama's comment about visiting all 57 states semi-correct...retroactively....:lamo

What a surprise... Another billionaire using his fortune to push a giant conservative political narrative. This will fail because it takes a whole lot more than their own state to approve the split.

You don't take 'selfies' sitting in the audience at a funeral...nor do you cut up and belly laugh at a funeral. Look at everyone else's face in those photos. Those are serious mourners...including the dagger staring Michelle Obama. But then, her husband and the buxom blonde are just having a GOOD OLD TIME.

Get off that crap.

As has already been hashed over about those photos, the selfie was taken by the "blonde," who happens to be the Prime Minister of Denmark (IIRC). I've been at plenty of memorials/funerals where people laughed - when my grandfather died, my cousins and I enjoyed a few laughs remembering him.

If Obama had refused the Danish PM, you'd be bitching about him "throwing our ally under the bus" and refusing a kind request for a photo.

So basically, you don't even know anything about the photo, just "OBAMA BAD!! HULK SMASH!"

I couldn't give a **** less if that irrefutable fool had refused the Danish PM her selfie. Obama was an asshole deluxe to act like that at a funeral for the apartheid hero of South Africa. Maybe you care...I didn't. Just one more example of his incredible ineptness as the president of this country.

How about we just make California like Puerto Rico. an "unincorporated territory" of the US. Kind of like moving a know-it-all sibling to the house across the street. Still within earshot, but much less annoying to you personally.

I wish Florida would become its own country.

I wish Texas would become its own country, but only if we build a fence along the OK and NM border...
