So I am guessing you would have California pay for the military bases in their boundaries
Military bases, such as Ft. Irwin, are federal land.

and the state benefits greatly from the transaction
How so if they pay more to the Feds than the receive? Sounds like some Jerry Brown kinda math you got going on, maybe you should stick to momma and daddy type posts.
You know you might want to see a medical professional...seriously...you have been tearing my shite up on this board for a couple of years and you usually have some pretty good insight even when it is simply a laughing emoticon....but you seem to be having some sort of episode of late. So you think Calfiornian's don't reap any ancillary benefits from federal spending that simply the dollar amount spend within their borders?
California sends a $ to washington...washington sends them $.80 back....and for that $.20 cent investment California gets 49 viable trading partners in other states, they get protection from the most advanced military the world has ever known...and they get hundreds of thousands if not millions of jobs....It is some Jerry Brown kind of math....it is addition and subtraction...pretty simple stuff....nothing convoluted like supply side economic shams that the GOP has been promoting since the aristocrat Kennedy introduced them to the idea...

So just how exactly does California bring the other 49 states to their knees? Refusing to pay taxes? Secession?
Guess what sparky, neither is going to happen.
California has ZERO leverage against the US. ZERO.
