    I love this thread. The futility and desperation of the replies illustrates completely that the federal government is an abject joke and failure. If only pelosi and Schumer would play nice with trump then WE could accomplish stuff1!?!1 Good luck trumptards.

    Reducing DC to common defense and common currency is the only rational solution. There’s not a single branch of the federal government that has any credibility or deserves any respect.

    I agree with your assessment of the Federal Governments abilities but aren't you a BIG supporter of the California state government?
    California has created the greatest wealth producing society and culture the world has ever seen. Despite government, including the state government. The heavy hand and cost of an oppressive and ignorant federal government is far more burdensome.
    “California” didn’t create shit. People there did. Individuals. It could be even greater if the fuck heads in Sacramento would stand down.
    This is a peculiar take. So where did the R&D funding come from that made Silicon Valley possible?
    Not to mention the highly educated and innovative workforce that came out of the UCs and CSUs
    California has benefited more from federal guvmint spending as the source of its current prosperity than any other state in the Union and it’s not even close.

    And WHAT has California ever done for us?






    That's a list of benefits. Cool. I'm asking you to cite how those benefits add up to more benefits than any other state has received, as you stated.

    If you think in came from the feds you’re a fucktard. If it did, hypothetically, fuck them. The federal government using money taken from citizens to fund R&D to create billionaires is some fucked up immoral thinking.
    Jesus Damone. Open up a history book. All that Dept of Defense funding that flowed into Silicon Valley back in the 1960s to 80s was so that we could win the Cold War. Did you want to lose to those dirty, commie Ruskies?

    Because if the state didn’t have universities there would be no universities.
    Sorry you don't understand the massive investment that the state of California made in its university system, and thus its young people, the last several decades
    And yet the best school in the State in a private University.

    A shitload of DoD funding also went into aerospace in So Cal. But DoD spread that kind of wealth around the country, too

    Cal is public. But if you're mistakenly referring to stanfurd, their total enrollment in 2017 was 16k. Total enrollment for UC was 280k, and for CSU was 460k.

    California is blessed with great weather, geography and natural resources. The state government is far more oppressive and burdensome to businesses here than is the Federal government. Texas, which lacks California's weather and geographical advantages actually has far out performed California in the last 10 years. While the coastal areas have done well in California the eastern parts of the state has not. One of the things that would help California is if they opened up drilling for oil and gas but the state government doesn't allow it.

    I’ve read it several books and papers- e.g., Cadillac Desert (definitive history of water infrastructure and use in the West) but will go back to the source and find it for you.

    By the way, I’m not ripping on CA. It was money well spent.

    I have three kids with additional deductions for them my net Federal taxes was a slight decline. As my kids get older I'll be paying more.
