Bill Jones will get blown out even though Barbara Boxer is an awful Senator. We get back only $0.77 on every federal tax dollar we pay. This is the nation's largest state! We should be able to get some decent federal aid. We have crumbling roads. We have the worst schools in the nation (aside from DC). We get low Medicare reimbursement, given our standard of living. CA taxpayers pay the bill for all the illegals that are on Medicaid and Medical even though the Federal government is supposed to pay those benefits. It is probably the nation's largest unfunded mandate.
Of course you guys get less money back from the federal government - the reasons are two:
1) you only have two senators for 35 million people. Tough luck there
2) you keep electing senators and representatives from the long-term minority party - the Democrats.
