Dear Editor,
Just when I think I’ve heard it all, up pops the Failed State of California with more Lunacy.
This time it’s Governor Nuisance threatening to secede from the Union. This weirdness raises an entire series of questions.
First and foremost, who is going to supply the endless need for money when the federal government will immediately cut off the vast sums of money that flow constantly to California. Does Newsome really feel that the fewer and fewer tax-paying citizens remaining in the state will be either willing or able to shoulder the burden of funding the state/s day-to-day functions?
Second, California has one of the largest combined populations of homeless and indigent illegal aliens in the U.S. Who’s going to pay for their continued support?
Third, how is he going to force lifelong citizens of California to support this idiot move if they desire to remain in their homes on their private property. Will he disenfranchise them and evict them from his new country?
Fifth, what in the world does he think is going to happen to the boardroom attitudes of the myriad corporations headquartered outside California when they have their California holdings seized by his tax auditors and collectors.
Sixth, does his delusion include the United States government simply walking away from all the military and governmental billions and trillions of dollars in long term physical holdings and investments in the state? Then, what of all the hundreds of thousands of people employed in those facilities. Is he doing to offer to buy them out as he terminates their jobs?
Lastly, for brevity, just what is he going to do to assure the physical security of his state? Is he going to beg the necessary military support from his buddies in the Chinese Communist Party? Then will he use the Mexican Cartels to take on the task of internal and border security of the once grand State of California?
This is Distilled Insanity writ large.
