What effect would a succesfull Calexit have on the foreign sales of US movies?

[SuburbanFarmer]

The nation can print more money and just drown us in inflation to solve that.

California is up shit creek. Along with Michigan and Illinois. Probably New York too.

Also, Kansas, Nebraska, and a host of other Red states.

I see what you're doing there...

Without context it's fucking meaningless.

Where is the money going?

If you are going to include interstate, oil pipeline, and other federal expenditures or su sidies, then fuck off with that weak shit.

Get past your prejudices and dig down into the data, its all there and sortable.

The biggest takers, both by individual residents and the states themselves, is all spelled out right there.

You have to account for what that money is used for. Most of it in very rural states likely goes to maintaining things like the interstate system, which is a national asset, not a state asset. It's not like the people living out in Montana are benefiting from it. That has a lot to do with the commerce that your state depends upon, traveling straight through and past those people.

Give me an accounting of that money.

I don't think you're reading the data right. My state does not depend on Federal money, the other states depend on the Federal money taken from us.

Also, there's another column for federal money taken by individuals, an accounting which is definitely not something like the Interstate Highway system.

California is 36 out of 50 in individual dependency on the Federal Government, and 42 out of 50 in State dependency on Fed.

My point is that I'd be really cautious before parroting hard right talking points about California without knowing the whole story.

Besides, if we're so weak here, why is everyone so scared of our power when we destroy the Electoral College. We're an extremely rich state with a high population because of the economy here.

[Speaker to Animals]

You are being mislead by dishonest people.

Give us an accounting of what funds to which they refer when they say "red states are taking our money". Guaranteed most of that has nothing to do with what you imply.

You're demanding a standard of evidence which you are unwilling to provide. Find it yourself.
The federal and state budgets are all public record - and they do have interstate highways in Montana, which are funded almost exclusively by the federal gasoline tax - as managed by the Federal Highway Commission, and Dept of Transportation (under Secretary of the Interior).

[Speaker to Animals]

So much for "show your work".

It's obviously a bullshit figure that includes national infrastructure spending in sparsely populated states. If the actual accounting of the numbers made the case, you better believe these progressive "think tanks" would use that instead.
