A few more taxes,

some more smoke & mirror budgets,

and the Golden State will be all shiny again.

I understand this perfectly as liberals are delusional to begin with.

Wonder if the “Education Grant” will be used for education or tossed into the general fund for union retirement.

Just color me somewhat skeptical. With a majority of dems in the ass embly, they will not be able to control themselves. At the first sign of light in the end of the tunnel, they will resume their spending and taxing as if there is no tomorrow.

Go ahead, prove me wrong, I dare ya. Said to the ass embly and no one else.

Brown's proposal to ask voters to raise tax revenue next November could lift the state out of the red in the next 12 months

You are kidding, right?

If we tax the people "just a little tiny bit more".

So goes the popular refrain .

I reminds me of heroin addicts I have known before .

Lots of fudge words here: "may be, projected, could have, would have, propose," yada yada yada.

If both more cuts and more tax revenue happen - and a poll released last week showed strong support for the governor's tax plan - "
If you're happy with the way things are, keep doing what you have been doing (voting Democrats in).

California could have no deficit and no more cuts to state programs in just one year.
And rainbows will magically appear, highlighting the unicorns leaping through the air and raining Skittles down upon the citizenry.

But a real discussion of when the cuts could stop is a new development at the Capitol that has not been heard in years.
No, the "new development" would be when the discussion on raising taxes will stop.

New tax proposals:

1) $1 ticket tax on each movie ticket.
2) $1000 tax per inch of beachfront in Malibu per year.
3) Annually auction off the airwaves spectrum (aka cell phone spectrum) for TV and radio. This corporate welfare loophole must be closed immediately.
4) $500 tax per ton of newsprint.
5) 20% wealth tax on all government officials and their immediate families every year the budget is not balanced.

I’m sure there are others, but that’s it for now.

“California’s dark days of budget deficits and severe spending cuts may be nearing an end.”

Did they actually cut spending?

Address the pension issue, and maybe, just maybe we can talk, CA Assembly. Until then, pound sand.
