10/8 "Arnold Schwarzenegger strongly suggested that he would call on
President Bush to provide federal aid to California." -nytimes
Crap! Stupid Californians need us non-Californians to bail them
out again.
\_ I hope the Pres. refuses. Though some might say that the reason for
letting the states stew was to prevent encouraging the states to run
for federal aid whenever they have trouble. However, we did oust our
Governor, so we are trying. Maybe that's an argument to rethink an
aid package.
\_ But that would leave less money for his golfing buddies who are
rebuilding iraq!
\_ CA gives more to the Feds than it receives each year.
\_ So does my state. What's your point? That CA shouldn't pony
up for its share of national defense?
\_ Which state is that?
\_ No, bitch, that both your state and ours should get a
larger chunk of that sweet federal pie.
\_ Keep your dirty paws off my pie!
\_ But! CA voters, voters on the West Coast mostly, like to
throw out their federally elected officials fairly often
that they build almost no seniority. Which is why CA gets
back so little. Look W.VA. miles of new highways going to
cities with hardly any people. Why? KKK Byrd
\_ Boxer and Feinstein have no seniority? Train harder
young grasshopper. (also see Pete Stark, Nancy Pelosi...)
\_ Yeah and look what they bring back... see any bases?
Any kind of bacon?
\_ CA should secede from the union. We can survive on our own.
We are the 5th largest economy in the world. The fed tax
we pay should cover our state deficit.
\_ i guess that's one way ahnold can be president
\_ Yeah... try that.. you forget about defense. Except for
San Diego, there's not much left. Even San Diego lost the NTC
and those enviro nuts want the carriers out of there.
\_ What could possibly threaten California militarily
except the US? And no amount of military force
could defend against that threat, anyway.
\_ Mexico?
\_ Don't need defense when you're no longer "USA", and
not poking you nose into middleast affairs.
\_ Let's see. North Korea invades the Republic of
California and then put tons of short-range missles here
pointing to the USA.
\_ Not possible. USA invades and occupies north korea
before they have a chance to invade new CA. You
think USA would let north korea to reach that far?
\_ Of course not. US would just slap CA around
like it does to Mexico.
\_ CA != Mexico.
\_ They _want_ us to secede. They'd invade,
slap martial law on us, and never have
to worry about winning the CA vote again.
\_ We have no oil. No worries.
\_ ??? We have oil, onshore and off.
\_ Why doesn't North Korea invade Canada, then? |
