While you make a really good point, California contributes roughly the same as it takes from the Federal government. So if it were a sovereign state, it would be paying out basically the same thing to the rest of the US as it takes in from selling them things.
In other words, in this particular case, it's a wash.
- heavenlyblue 4y agoWhat makes you think the prices would be the same?
- jedberg 4y agoI assume in the grand scheme of things that some prices would go up and some down on both the buy and sell side and ultimate work out in the end. For example the water could only get so expensive before desalinization becomes cost effective. Also all the things California grows and sells to the rest of the country would include the price of water.
