Who couldn’t see this coming from a mile away? The Dems only know how to spend more and raise taxes. They can’t cut spending, period. Their constituents won’t accept it. In a normal democracy, that would mean that the voters would turn to the Republicans to make the cuts. But the CA voters are hooked on government spending and believe the fantasy that all they need to do is increase taxes on “the rich” to pay for the spending and all will be well. A number of them also believe Republicans are evil bigots so they won’t vote GOP no matter what. Its a recipe for decline and bankruptcy. Everyone knows the current system doesn’t work but no one wants to take the necessary medicine. Its too “harsh.” Its how a child reacts to a problem — don’t do what is necessary but pretend you can keep doing what you are doing. California is a state filled with adults who think like children and have no sense of responsibility. Or at least the remaining adults are in the minority. Its what happens when you have a massive Welfare State that pretends that it can take care of everyone. Its where the whole country is headed.

What will be cut this time?

Whatever they cut you can guarantee that it will NOT be the jobs of any of the thousands of useless mouth breathers in the useless state agencies.

I know some peeps in Calif eduction, and the level of featherbedding, insider promotions, fraud, deceitful "programs", and fake and unneeded job descriptions is astounding.

(Imagine your most wasteful and deceitful scenario; it's worse.)

Funny how a state so full of brilliant minds is run by a bunch of nincompoops. a silly irony in ‘Natural Selection’ perhaps?

Privatize the K-12 Schools.
Save $30B/year.
While they are at it, rework their Pension system. They should abolish it and have their employees manage their own 401Ks (like the rest of the world), but they still need to deal with the over promises given by previous Democrat administrations (as bribes to get donations).

DeSaulnier is, of course, a Democrat. Figure that these moochers with their hands out would be his constituents.

This article is one of a long line of propaganda from the lamestream media about how we need to pass Moonbeam's tax increas or all hell will break through. Get used to them since by the time the election gets close they will be all you see. Well these and the articles saying how we have to vote for the anointed one or we are racist pigs.

Best thing to do is to breakup the State,into individual regions.With Jefferson to the North,California proper in the Coastal areas including Silicon valley and Los Angeles.Orange County and San Diego would be their own State as well.

Then the liberals can have their utopia and anyone else can do their own thing.
