California passed the Sanctuary State Bill. What a joke of a state, it should be called the Cartoon state.

Have you read about the bill anywhere besides FOX? Just curious.

.....the states that benefit the most by federal spending are the very states whose populations tend to vote for leaders who promise to reduce federal spending, while those that benefit the least from large government vote for politicians who promise to make it even larger at their expense.

In other words, Democratic-leaning states tend to be net contributors to the federal budget while Republican-leaning states are more often net recipients of federal spending.

"Red" states are living in an alternate financial universe - they're not too proud to accept the transfer in federal funds, above and beyond that which they contribute in taxes to the government, but they also want to lower their own tax rate, leaving it to the "tax fairy" to provide them with the shortfall!

Sounds good to me, let all the illegals especially the criminal ones, move there right away. Then wall it all off.
