@timlinator Do you even know why California had that surplus? The primary reason they even got it was because the stock market was going up (and so was revenue from capital gains taxes). California's surplus is literally based around the rich.

@timlinator Lol. I guess Nebraska, Utah, Kansas and Iowa are exceptions too.

@timlinator A diverse economy will only do so much good, without proper budgeting. It is a problem that California has faced for decades, and it has only gotten worse. And from the looks of it, it'll continue to go that way. If blue states exited (an unwise move) they would lose access to many benefits of the United States government. They'd probably suffer just as much (if not more) than the nation they left.

@timlinator "red murikkka would BROKE without our subsidies and since you HATE democracy we just need to split up." Lol. Illinois, California, and New York are already broke without subsidies (although they need it bad). If they left the Union, they wouldn't even have a way to satisfy such need. Also, way to have a discussion, buddy. Apparently, I hate democracy because I pointed out some simple things to you. Wow.

@timlinator "Collectively blue states are half the economy with purple about 35% and the dead beat red states only 15%." Well, I have a couple of things to say. 1. Where are you getting these stats from? 2. What states are exactly classified as "red" or "blue" states?
