Abiting economic wind is blowing in California. It brings with it a feeling of personal threat, broken promises and a sense of crisis. The economy is stagnating, while the government appears immobilized. California is losing its competitive edge. ...

"So, population is going up, and jobs, especially good-paying jobs, are going down, public costs are going up, and tax revenues are going down. Our state cannot long operate in this way. We are on the road to fiscal disaster."

SAYS: Don't you wish you could spend $32 billion more in 3 years than you make? The Davis motto: 'Spend California's tomorrow today. I'm sure 'the children' won't mind.'

Davis and his band of left wing/tax and spend maggots in the legislature are a prime example of what can happen when they control the executive branch and legislature branch with a lying/worthless media in bed with them. The real costs are unknown. There was a surplus of billions when he came in. The Kali tax receipts were still on the surplus side until the Clintoon/Jake Reno attack on Gates ripped apart the tech side of Kali. So they spent all of the surplus and the surplus each month until about a year ago.

They are so far behind on paying back tax refunds, it is not even funny. My son and his wife took over 2 months to get back their Kali income tax refunds after mailing them in. We are over one month now since filing and mailing in our forms with a refund due, and no check yet.

Secretly they are all depressed as the Clintoon recession, the Davis recession and the legislature's ant business and tax and spend schemes have driven the actual payments for taxs to a level running to close to 10 years ago.

Also, more Kalis like our son and DIL and us are getting refunds this year due to the economy, and this is ripping them apart. They may have to have an expensive short term loan just to meet all of the tax refunds due. Of course the pressitutes will never have any articles on this.

We are just seeing and hearing about the tip of the iceberg that Herr Davis and his maggots in the legislature have run the Kalitanic into. They as typical left wing/tax and spend maggots are more interested in re arranging the deck chairs not to lose votes that face the budget problem. So the Kalitanic continues to ram that huge iceberg of debt at full speed and ripping bigger holes in its hull!

SAVE CALIFORNIA - ABORT DAVIS!
