I was working in the Sacramento area when the Bozo got elected. California has its “in the know” department heads shut down various projects about to start or even already started during the 2008-9 crisis. Things like highway construction were canceled AFTER bid, just so they could be added to the Stimulus request package to get more billions of the gravy train that was coming in 2009 when the scam went into office and the super-majority of Democrats could sell our grand-children’s future.
I think Moonbeam and his demonrat chorus line should dump his high speed train to nowhere boondoggle quit spending state money on illegal aliens who get better medical, housing and food under their misadministration and spend that money instead on the crumbling infrastructure of California and reservoirs and desalination plants. But hey who am I, just a legal Conservative resident of the state.
Why should the whole country pay for California’s dam? Let California pay for it.
The university has some hidden $175 million that can be used to pay for repairs.
Same story as Louisiana spending dike upkeep money on social programs and paying the price when a hurricane hit. All the blathering about New Orleans being underwater because the dikes burst was passed over under the news reports that it was all Bush’s fault.
Hey, Calipornia: how about NOT funding your ridiculous bullet train - a $100 billion fiasco in the making, if you’re lucky - and fix your own damned dams!?
No bailouts.
I’m looking for the following headline: “Trump to California: Drop Dead!” No, actually I’m not waiting for it...I’m drooling in anticipation.
Let the damned Commies finally find out that Maggie Thatcher was right: “Socialism work just fine, until you run out of other people’s money.” Well, we’re out of money for those jackholes (how else do you describe a bunch of people who elected Governor Moonbeam AGAIN, together with veto-proof Demonrat majorities in both houses of the Legislature)?
Let California burn, financially speaking.
There’s a trillion or so just laying around for the high speed
If the feds insist on giving money, they should require that jurisdiction over the dam be taken from the California Department of Water Resources and given to some less demonstrably incompetent state entity.
Maybe California should sell the “train to nowhere” to help fund the repairs, and hire some ‘under-the-table’ illegals to repair it. That would keep the labor costs down.
I hope I don’t need the sarcasm tag here.
Sadly, Californians pay through the nose for energy and water already, thanks to the inept government in that state. It really needs to go bankrupt before the necessary changes can take place. I mean, the whole state government. Libs will spend other peoples' money as long as they can steal it.
Just say "no" to California's theft.
All California spending became visibly questionable after Prop 13 passed in the 70’s.
If the dam can’t pay its own way on repairs, the reservoir should be emptied to protect public safety from floods when the dam breaks.
