Last year, the Golden State's GDP topped $4.1T — surpassing Japan ($4.02T) and behind only Germany ($4.65T), China ($18.74T), and the entire U.S. ($29.18T).

NEW: According to the IMF's 2024 World Economic Outlook data released yesterday and BEA data, California’s nominal GDP reached $4.1 trillion, surpassing Japan’s $4.02 trillion, and placing California as the 4th largest economy — behind only the United States, China, and Germany.

Not only did it grow to be the 4th largest, California’s economy grew at a faster rate than the world’s top three economies in 2024: California's growth rate of 6% outpaced the U.S. (5.3%), China (2.6%) and Germany (2.9%).

California's GDP ($4.08T) nearly equals India's ($4.27T), despite having just 3% of its population.

California receives $161.7 billion in federal funds, has lost $102 Billion in Income Due to Migration of Taxpayers, Tax Data, a net loss of 9,181 wealthy millennial households and California's state and local government debt is roughly $1.6 trillion.

California also has more residents than all but about 35 countries in the World and the majority of those are sh*tholes. Factor in a lot of other advantages and it's not as crazy as it first seems.

This is kinda silly when you account for the amount of federal income taxes that the state generates

And despite all of your doom and gloom statistics they're still the 4th largest economy in the world

Federal Funding for Migrant Services
Shelter and Services Program (SSP): Administered by FEMA, this program provides grants to local entities offering humanitarian assistance to migrants. In 2023, California organizations received $48 million in SSP grants. This amount increased in 2024 due to a projected rise in border crossings, with Catholic Charities of the Diocese of San Diego receiving $35 million and Riverside County obtaining $13 million.

?

Additional Allocations: In April 2024, the Biden administration allocated $45 million to California programs assisting recently arrived migrants. This funding is part of a $300 million national effort by FEMA to support communities providing services to asylum seekers and refugees. ?


Refugee Support Services
FY 2024 Allocations: California received approximately $46.4 million in Refugee Support Services (RSS) formula funding. This includes $30 million based on the number of refugees served and an additional $16.3 million allocated for Ukrainian arrivals. ?



quote:

In summary, California receives substantial federal funding to support migrant populations through healthcare programs, refugee services, and other grants. These funds are complemented by state expenditures and the economic contributions of immigrants themselves.?





quote:

Louisiana receives federal funding to support migrants, including refugees, asylum seekers, and other immigrant populations. While the state's allocations are modest compared to larger states, these funds play a crucial role in assisting newcomers with essential services. Here's an overview of the key funding sources and recent figures:?



quote:

Refugee Support Services
In Fiscal Year 2024, Louisiana received $300,000 through the Refugee Health Promotion program, administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR). This funding supported services for 631 refugees and immigrants, focusing on employment assistance, housing, and other essential needs.
Administration for Children and Families
?




Modest compared to California is a fricking understatement of the century.


We are being robbed by California.

That's why they asked, "Are y'all sure?" three different times when the world started telling them to get their shite together and start investing in their military and national defense.

Bear in mind that most of these GDP measures include imports/exports. CA is home to two of the three busiest ports by TEU's in the US. NY/NJ is the other.

In other words, their GDP gets artificially pumped up by goods either coming from or going to other states. A very large portion of the trade with China transits CA's ports.
