If California received no federal funding, and did not send anything back to Washington, it would experience a net gain.
If California were to secede and become once again the Bear Flag Republic, it would be a wealthy nation with the fifth largest economy in the world and a higher per capita GDP than the remainder of he United States.
California would quickly become another Greece, Cuba, Venezuela, etc. ....
