What now Sac-O- Bee? How about cutting state salaries and pensions by 10% accross the board?

Then, we can go after the illegals.

See Sac-O-Bee? Problem solved.

“Kinfolk said you better move away from there
Said California is no place for you to be
So I loaded up the truck and I moved from Beverly
Going back to the hills we are
Fishing holes and Country and Western Stars”

CA teachers are paid more than 30% over the national average. CA voters never see a union backed spending increase they don’t like. And $3 billion in corporate welfare for pharmaceutical companies to develop new drugs and treatments using stem cell research to sell back to the tax payers who paid for them? Hell yeah! Throw in the fact that most spending and spending increases are mandated.

There needs to be a constitutional amendment that bans all spending mandates. California is almost to the point where more than 100% of its budget is already dedicated to required spending. All feel good spending measures need to be stripped. If it’s not necessary to run the government or fund entitlements, it’s got to go. Finally, CA tax code needs to be brought more in line with what they’re doing in Texas, where business is booming, citizens pay not state income tax, and their government has a surplus.

About the only thing CA is going to get right is clearing the illegals out of the prisons, and that is only if they actually follow through with deportation (and hold them until they are deported.)
