California has become the fourth largest GDP in the world, surpassing Japan.
Contributing 14% of GDP of the entire USA, CA leaves the other states to contribute only 1.75% each, on average.
Just think what CA could have done if run by Republicans instead of those feckless libruls!

Easy. It'd be a paradise with low crime and probably account for 22% or better of the US GDP.
See? That wasn't so hard.

It's easy when you reach into your deep bag of "Blue Sky".
Sort of like your projections of what you think Trump is doing with his tariff 3D chess moves.

I agree. Under left wing leadership, businesses are fleeing CA left and right and wealth is flowing into places like Texas, Tennessee and Florida. I wonder what all those places have in common...hmm. Might need to go into the bag of the obvious again.

I've covered this. We're now well into the territory of board libs who are now typing out what they want me to say rather than what I actually say.

Everyone sat back and watched The Kansas Experiment go POOF !!!
Spankee is trying on a bigger scale. Bigger failure. The BIGLIEST FAILURE EVER. Everyone knows because he RUNS AWAY when the market nosedives--over and over again--due to a world he doesn't have a clue exists. Meaning: THE REAL WORLD. He needs to be prevented from eating the lead chips off every surface.
Tariffs going DOWN? ROFLMAO !!! Can't pay the bills with no money coming in. US credit likely to be downgraded. Now whoda thunk THAT !!! LOL !!!

I don't know how much credits Democrats get for that. The Terminator was our governor too.
A lot of rich people like to live in California because of the climate, and a wide variety of - well, everything, food, culture, entertainment, you name it. California budget relies almost entirely on taxes paid by the super-rich. Note that California taxes both *long-term* and short term capital gains as income. Plus, it's 10% of the US by population so it would be surprising if the GDP was < 10%.
Silicon Valley and Hollywood happen to be in California. That's the major contributor to the GDP. Agriculture too is a minor one, though it seems wasteful to have water-hungry crops like almonds in a state that is mostly desert.
Also lots of high COL areas, elevating the GDP numbers but not the quality of life.
