$68B. Isn’t that less than what Brandon has pissed away in the Ukraine?

Not even close.
As of Oct
US total two-year aid to Urkraine = $75b
California is 1/7th of the US economy and we are talking 0ne-year total vs two-year total so, you’re off by a factor of 14 or so.
75 billion too much plus Brandon is demanding another 69 billion now.
We could have completely sealed the border and then some for that money.
I won’t argue with that,
but still the perspective is what we were talking about, and the (suggested) perspective was way off. It was closer to Ukraine derangement syndrome, inserting Ukraine into every thread, than to a valid 0n-topic comparison.
Multibillion … $800 Billion at last estimate.

Immigration is good for the economy. I’ve heard it a million times. The latest influx of asylum seekers will help California pay this off in no time.

I’ll talk to Abbott about busing in some help for them.

That is a popular hypothesis.
But umm it happened on the federal level too.
It dovetails nicely with repeated conservative arguments that certain types of artificial gains in economic numbers are beyond artificial they aren’t even “real,” at best they are temporary.

Most real intellectuals have fled the state imo.
Was listening to a Lady from California talking (on the radio) about she fled the state when Newsom mandated the covid shots for kids to attend school.
Lots of folks fed up with Greasy Gavin.
I’m not sure it’s about people who fled California.
Lots of businesses, lots of employers are profitable (generating tax revenues) when loans are free and the government is giving away free money to businesses and their consumers.
It is fake economic growth.
Not just artificial, and temporary, but fake
It is not even temporarily good economy it just looks like one on paper.
(Broken window fallacy sorta thing.)
Once the money train stops, ya wind up worse off than if the government had never done those things in the first place, 'cause the baker with the broken window is now out of savings and he neither made nor sold his bread.
