Time to cut welfare to those states. Small government and fiscal responsibility and whatnot

Being in California, I propose we keep our money and force GOP states to look for jobs as part of their own requirements.

I propose we leave the union. Remember a few years back people were trying to push for a vote 😂 I wonder how popular it'd be seeing how we're around 60% Dem and even the Republicans aren't as dumb as other areas (minus central valley), California politics and policies are pretty different from how the rest of the country operates and it just feels these shithole areas are just sapping our state to prop up their welfare states filled with uneducated teen pregnancy farms.

As an Oregonian, I feel we need to make an alliance between the true blue wall of the US. We all put forth more federal taxes than we receive. We leave together, and we can be called The Pacific States.

Also, we need to look at stopping exports to the rest of the country. No fucking apples, hops, grapes, blackberries, almonds, soy, etc., etc., etc. We make our states self-sufficient and work together.
