why can’t we all agree that those numbers are more manageable to govern than 350 million? 33% of federal taxes should be returned to the states they came from.

Could yore state survive without $1.50 for every outbound federal dollar being funneled back into the state? I'm sure California would gladly accept a refund from Oklahoma. You should get right on that.

Yes, Oklahoma would survive.

Clean up your porch (Portland) before you start talking about the guy’s yard down the street.

Flourish even?

 

[HighStickHarry]

Flourish even?

Some would and some would choose not too

 

[davidallen]

Some would and some would choose not too

I look forward to your check. I will DM you an address.

 

[davidallen]

This feels a bit momentous to me. @HighStickHarry and I have found common ground. We both agree that it is appalling that the states like California are subsidizing the terrible fiscal management of states like Oklahoma and this must end immediately.

 

[Ponca Dan]

Flourish even?

Sure.

 

[davidallen]

Sure.

Give it a go.

 

[Ponca Dan]

Give it a go.

It’s up to the 4 million people in the state, not me alone. But we’d be fine. We’d flourish once the fed requirements (shackles) were removed along with all that free money.

Does SMU's business school still rank Kalifornia #50 in business climate?

Charles Schwab is last I heard about bailing Kalifornia for Texas. Schwab was founded in Gay Bay. Too dangerous for employees. Lawton City Council still thanks Sacremento to this day for sending them the biggest rubber plant in the world. Plano thanks Sacremento for Toyota North American Headquarters. I could go on and on and on.

Any updates on California’s finances today?

$3.63 trillion GDP. That what you were looking for?

 

[HighStickHarry]

Nope

 

[OUSOONER67]

Does that include RePaRaTiOnS Payouts?

Must be why so many people and corporations are clamoring to get out of their states and move to California.

There’s too much gdp there obviously.

 

[iasooner2000]

At least we don’t have to listen to them bitching about drought or forest fires for awhile finally

What did Cali GDP grow by in 2022? How 'bout OK?

 

[davidallen]

Nope

What do you need?

This is why you are so annoying to talk to. We either have to ignore you or point out California is actually much larger than oklahoma, with a different climate for agriculture and has ocean ports that allow them to be the exit and entrance points for a substantial amount of trade. Who on earth would even attempt to compare the two? I bet you really kill it on the Rhode Island and Delaware boards.

 

[HighStickHarry]

What do you need?

Have there been any numbers about California mismanaging their tax and spend policies? What are some of the high iq things they spent their covid bailout windfall on? How are budgets looking these days?

Remember when Toyota and GM assembled vehicles in Kalifornia? I do. Sacremento ran them out, just as they did Buck Knives.

Nope, just mudslides. 😂

They done run out of gold.

 

[iasooner2000]

Not in Humboldt County

 

[LAY THE WOODY]

How soon before they float in the Pacific?

Not that I'm up on. Something there worth looking at?

Isn't there a train boondoggle somewhere in the budget? Already years behind and billions more than predicted? Is that worth looking at in your $400/hour opinion?

Not really.

 

[Ponca Dan]

Of course not. Silly me, what was I thinking?
