Time to divvy up the state, let conservatives have their own piece of CA and the liberals have theirs. We’ll see which half becomes more productive. It’ll be like looking at the stark differences between North Korea and South Korea.
The real problem is that the deficit is actually going to be higher. Tax revenues are falling..fast. Layoffs decreasing withholding, people saving rather than spending, realestate values and taxes going down, taxes on houses not being paid, capital gains taxes going away, etc etc.
They can’t cut big enough to solve the problem. They finally have to face the truth that they can’t run a welfare state with open borders..with the world and other states. It is isni’t just the number of state and city workers. It is also the number of people and programs that the state pays for. Paying for all the programs for illegals who are undereducated and marginally employed(pay little or no taxes) is killing the state.
If they do find a way to close the gap..three months from now they will find out the gap has returned.
