So I Have to Ask..........

Promise ya the 23 billion is not going to going to buy much of a Navy.

We already have multiple Navy, Army, Air Force and Marine basis in California. The infrastructure is in place for when the feds leave. Plus, we have multiple ports of entry where more than half of all goods and supplies in this country are shipped through. You've heard of tariffs, right?

Old Buildings and land are relatively cheap.

It’s the planes, ships, and payrolls that would eat through all those billions in a matter of days.

Also pretty sure the US wouldn’t care and just keep the bases they want….what would a new country with no military do about it?

And tarrifs work both ways. New ports can be built.

California produces 460,000 barrels of oil a day and uses 1.8 million.

Granted it would suck to have to look at a border wall every day, but I would support it. Don’t need illegal California immigrants running through my backyard all the time.

You think they need to worry about Oregon, eh?

If you have seen USC or UCLA play football you would realize that they should fear everyone. Pretty sure Hawaii could overrun them in a fight, after rowing there.

Meaning, if they were to secede, they’d could collect that same revenue, fund their own programs, and get a $23B bump for the state. That’s about 2.3 times the total budget of Iowa.

Lol... You just showed your ignorance.

Land isn't cheap in California. It's worth literally billions of dollars. Especially along the beach (Coronado, Point Loma, San Diego, Bay Area, Monterey, etc.). We're also home to the world's largest military contractors (Lockheed Martin, Aerojet, Honeybee Robotics, BAE, etc.). So getting access to equipment and weaponry won't be hard. We also have the California National Guard with more than 24,000 service men and women. We have a population of 39 million people with a HUGE tax base.

What's your state have to offer, hillbilly?
