Snippet:
California - which spends nearly 40% of taxpayer revenue ($95.5 billion, not including federal funds) on social services that's rife with fraud - and which spends roughly 25% of its $95.5 billion Medi-Cal budget (free healthcare) on illegal immigrants, is in the midst of a massive population exodus due to housing affordability, crime, taxes, wildfires, parental rights, and homelessness.
