California Declares Fiscal Emergency; Philadelphia Plans Massive Cuts
Is this not reason why, We, of the Cascadian states of Oregon, Washington and (northern) California should be pushing for economic independence from the Federal Empire? Imagine if we in Cascadia had not sent all that federal taxes to DC only to support third world states like Alabama other "red states." Imagine if the Cascadian states had not sent all that federal taxes to mass murder Iraqis, Afghanis and covert wars else where. Imagine our sisters, brothers, parents and children in the Oregon, Washington and California Guards who would be home now and who would have been here for the fires in California or floods in western Washington.
Yet even in state bankruptcies we hold on to this seeking ship called the USS America. As the social contract continues to go ignored banks and corporations recieve over 800 billion dollars. Yet we sit on this ship deck watching as water floods our haul.
Cascadians WAKE UP!
