"I predict AOC will be president. If AOC comes in and they bail out California and they federalize California's liabilities, you are going to see parts of this union, the red states, as they're called, the Texas of the world, that are going to say, why should we be part of this union anymore? We don't want to pay for all of these liabilities."
David Friedberg predicted AOC will become president driven by cost of living crises and wealth disparity, then attempt to federalize California's debts. He warned this would create a constitutional crisis where red states refuse to bail out blue state fiscal mismanagement, potentially threatening the existence of the union. The scenario depends on California requiring federal intervention for its pension and debt obligations.
