California's economy, with a gross state product of $3.0 trillion, is the largest sub-national economy in the world. If it were a country, California would be the fifth-largest economy in the world,

And yet it is most in debt.
Most curious.
I guess the debt is manageable because California brings in a lot of money
It's manageable because Cali isn't paying, especially pensions lmao
Cali supposedly earns 5 trillion, why can't they pay 1.05 trillion?
