Take a look back at the Base Realignment and Closures of the 90s and 2000s. California was gutted. The Bay Area was dotted with bases, pretty much all gone. Mississippi lost one, in 2006.

- blackflame7000 10y agoThis is a good point that I overlooked and I know my home city of San Diego was effected by this as well. However, despite these closings, the Military still contributes greatly to California's economy and that revenue would have to be made up. By the numbers I highly doubt these secessionists are also proponents of defense spending.
