Sounds like a good idea to me. It's not like we aren't the 7th largest economy in the world by ourselves.

Yeah, Cali hate.

It ain't perfect, but it's pretty damn nice. BTW, clawhammer, keep hating it and don't move here because we have too many midwestereners here anyway.

California deserves whatever it gets. Californians invented the concept of life-style. This alone warrants their doom."

he then goes on to explain why the rest of the US likes to see CA have problems because of their laid back (and fat) lives

Sadly, Wisconsin and Michigan blow us away in fatties.

California understands that people are too stupid to take care of themselves (see above), but the elected representatives are just as smart.

One municipality declared bankruptcy. The economy is still much stonger than the rest of the people who we pay our taxes for (in the rest of the US).
