From what I read the major reasons that people are leaving California are the increasingly high costs of living, housing, and transportation coupled with an increase in crime, pollution, and congestion. Illegal immigration would be connected to some of that but is not the only cause. Businesses are also fleeing the state as well, citing things like crime, high rents, high taxes, high costs of living for employees, and increasingly onerous business regulations and red tape.

"Tempered" I like that. Apparently it ain't "tempered" enough to keep people from leaving though. It also doesn't "temper" the high crime rates or increasingly oppressive government regulations that are endemic to Democrat run states either.

I guess it really has to do with who you ask and what they count as aid and reliance and when. Also too what a state receives is usually dependent on how much they contribute to the pot too.
California ranks the highest at $43.61 billion, Texas second at $26.90 billion, and Florida third $23.77 billion. https://worldpopulationreview.com/st...l-aid-by-state —————- Which states received the most money from the federal government? Federal funding comes through several overlapping programs targeting state and local governments. The proportion of state revenues attributable to federal aid is determined by combining the funding received by both state and local institutions. The five states that received the most federal aid were: California ($162.9 billion) New York ($110.2 billion) Texas ($105.8 billion) Florida ($58.8 billion) Pennsylvania ($57.1 billion) https://usafacts.org/articles/which-...n-federal-aid/ —————-

American citizens are not weeds Gorpet, and I know people who came from California that are so conservative they'd make you look like a commie pinko by comparison.

And the MAGA children in the House become even more irrelevant.

How I long for the days when we were at Double Take, life was good. Now the Air force has been on 15m minute state of readiness for years. Seems like these days the world is like a big truck going down a big hill with no brakes with Cocked Pistol just right around the corner and then we can all BOAKOAGB.

Here are the U.S. congressional districts benefiting from Ukraine aid If you knew that most of the military aid that Congress approves for Ukraine was being spent right here in the United States, quite possibly in your own congressional district — strengthening our defense production capacity and creating good manufacturing jobs for American workers — would you want your representatives in Washington to support it? As the House prepares to vote on a new military aid package for Ukraine, the map above details the congressional districts that have been getting Ukraine aid money, including examples of the weapons systems being produced. As this map shows, military aid not only protects Ukrainian civilians and advances U.S. national security — it is also good for workers and manufacturing communities right here at home. Providing military assistance to Ukraine is the right thing to do. American-made weapons are protecting Ukrainian civilians from Russian bombardment, stopping Russian forces from seizing Ukrainian cities and slaughtering their residents, and decimating the Russian military threat to NATO. It is in both our moral and national security interests to help Ukraine defeat Russia’s unjust aggression. But our military aid to Ukraine is also revitalizing our defense industrial base, creating hot production lines for the weapons we need to deter potential adversaries and creating manufacturing jobs in the United States. That’s because 90 percent of the $68 billion in military and related assistance Congress has thus far approved is not going to Ukraine but is being spent in the United States, according to an analysis by Mark Cancian of the Center for Strategic and International Studies... https://www.washingtonpost.com/opini...ricts-weapons/ |
