If the budget was simply rolled back to the 2004-05 level, no deficit.
Note that the proposed current budget is 40% higher.
In 4 years.
Dem grievance group politics are having their inevitable effect. The cost of 10 million illegals, mostly not paying taxes but using services, due to the bleeding heart stupidity of government and the criminal malfeesence of the state politicians (Davis, some corrupt judge) who refused to litigate to enforce Prop 187 - the last hope of Cali.
So, now, there is no hope. I look forward to the crash and burn. Hopefully the rest of us can learn something from it before it's our turn.
The "Illegals get the in-state rate" is the perfect litmis test for "IS MAY STATE AS STUPID AS CALIFORNIA". Sadly, many fail the test and must answer YES!
This was all predicted by a Russian lady about 50 years ago, what was that book again .. something about "Atlas" ?
