Yes - we even outrank Japan. Good luck, MAGA goons and clown car enforcers - what if we just don't pay our taxes due to your venality, treason, and stupidity? Then we guess you're SOL.

Then they will *try* and bankrupt California-But I doubt it will work - Bankruptcy for California, if the Feds have the power, is bankruptcy for the Federal Government. It’s one of the few States making money (still)

Honestly California, not the federal government should represent the United States in the G7 and trade meetings - or be added as a special member in addition to the ‘Crazy orange spider money’ that is “In Charge of making the desicisions” it’s horrible. “He” cannot decide which shoe to be tied first by *somebody* He is definitely not capable of tying ‘his’ own shoes anymore let alone deciding if the right shoe or left shoe should be tied for him first - so ‘his’ shoe person would choose which shoe, tell him that it was his great decision to have that shoe tied for him, the right shoe first, just to have him say “Yes, My shoe decision will help eliminate the terrorists on the Moon firing lasers at Me and sometimes other people - because that’s how passing from old age works, the ugh erm, the space lasers. My decision having to have ID to leave the house, or buy food helped allot too with the space lasers fighting back if anybody forgets ahhhhhhhh geeeeeeee I remember, they’re UM ERM ID Yes their ID!”

The issue is they can’t occupy California as Feds - they would need to make huge promises to pretty much every State - and that still doesn’t guarantee they’ll pull the trigger on they’re fellow countrymen or be hung for ‘just following orders’ so it’s very dark territory ahead - Sadly but on the other side I hope We come out Better & Stronger !!

The problem is that there is no way out of this without Federal Bankruptcy

Getting out of it without being occupied by most of Western Europe, The Saudis and a good part of Asia is going to be “very tough” especially with only sellouts on both sides as politicians
