(13,783 posts)We're still entangled with the Federal Government, and for a legitimate reason.
For any of the states to untangle themselves, even with California as the fifth (or fourth) largest economy in the world is an expensive and legally complex effort, and that's if both sides are acting in good faith.
The same argument made against Texas Secession works against California; and we've got just as much Federal Land and just as many Federal Employees/Employers in this state.
Id love the thought, but that ship sailed in 1865.

I wish Texas would secede, so we could finally convince hubby, kids and grandkids to GTF outta here, but it's not gonna happen.
