It depends really. We need to be real about the problem. State itself is not the problem, but the people in charge as well as the ones in the cities.
I am not justifying it. Cutting California off should be our second option, but the first one should be to try to purge those in charge and getting rid of the illegals there which probably make around 1/3 or little bit more since that should greatly correct some if not half the problems there. If that cannot be done then cutting off California will be the next option.
To put this bluntly a major part of why California is wealthy is two-fold:
Demographics which means that the tax base is huge and they have high taxes(which is always being spent on the things that hurt the state, but still those that live there would know far better than me). This allows a large consumer base as well.
Silicon Valley. I think I do not need to say anymore on this since that single area equates to 30%-50% of the states total GDP. Without them then it really would be a death spiral in minutes if not hours.
Once They do, can we detach CA and let it sink into the sea?
