The funny thing is the dam is located in a solidly Republican area that voted for Trump.

50 states. Make that 49.

My roof is still leaking and I have a huge hole in my ceiling. The insurance company is unable to to get someone out here until Wednesday because there are so many insurance claims.

Did the roof develop the hole only when it started leaking?

Like so many things repairs on infrastructure were put off on the basis "We don't need to fix it today." Which leads to so many deaths you would think they have learned to fix it before the crisis.

Having the 6th largest economy means nothing if you spend more than you earn.

For every dollar California sends the feds we get back 77 cents. States like Tennessee get about $2 for every $1 they send in, we subsidise them. Funny that so many red States rely on federal funds to survive.

That's what happens in a PC liberal world.

Otherwise, you build your fucking house on a hillside and it comes rumbling down on you, fuck you! Don't build a house on a fucking hillside!

You build your home in a flood control area, fuck you! Don't complain when the rain fills it into a reservoir.

If your state needs help, make your own fucking help by not allowing stupid shit.

There's no disaster yet all that happened is people have been told to evacuate an area that's in danger of being flooded if the dam breaks. The reason for this event is the State has not kept up on repairs and maintenance of the dam for too long.

Could that be because the poor want change?

I suggest those earning a better living pay more taxes to support the growing number of poor.

That's what gets me about the PC liberals who want to help everyone. They rarely want to pay more to support their tactics.

You need to pay more taxes.

Quote:

Taxes and fees are projected to put about $82 billion into California's general fund for the fiscal year starting July 1. But at current rates, the state would spend about $22 billion more than that. The gap between revenue and spending plus the gap in the current fiscal year's budget and reserve funds adds up to the total deficit, now estimated at about $28 billion.

Your reply about state budget proves you have no idea what Rochard was referring to. For every $1 California tax payers pay in **FEDERAL TAXES**, they get back around 0.70 to 0.80 cents worth of services.

Did President Trump Refuse to Give Federal Aid to California Because of the State's Sanctuary Cities?

Either I didn't explain it properly or you don't understand. The Richer States like California have to pay more taxes to support the poorer States. Otherwise, the entire country sinks into civil war.

Clearly, California has more spending than the people are prepared to pay for. This dam should have been maintained and repaired in the past. Paid for by the taxpayers. A business would update, repair, etc. Passing the costs on to the customers. Somehow when it comes to taxes people think it works the another way.

Now the birds have come home to roost on that policy.
