I guess last year's tax increases didn't bring in all the money they were hoping for. I could say "I told you so" but they still think they should raise taxes even more.

TRANSLATION: All of that phony, pipe-dream revenue we forecast last year in order to get our agenda through the legislature has just been revealed to be PHONY and a PIPE DREAM!! Shocking, I tell you! Shocking and of course UNEXPECTED!!!

Bet if you CA folks were drilling and fishing, sending illegals back to Mexico, getting rid of teachers (union workers) and half of the worthless government workers, you’d have enough money to LOWER TAXES.

What these clowns in Cali-fornia don’t realize and no one in Washington DC understands is that taking money out of the private sector and redistributing it is no way to encourage growth and jobs. If theres little to no incentive to start or maintain a business, who’s gonna take the risk - especially in these times?

Time for California to declare bankruptcy and get rid of all entitlements and unions of all kinds.

I know!
Let’s massively raise taxes and drive all private business out of California.
That will dramatically improve the California economy.

If they sent back the illegal families they wouldn’t need all of those teachers! Not to mention the savings in health care
and bi lingual lessons.

"Time for California to declare bankruptcy and get rid of all entitlements and unions of all kinds. Too bad they can't. As a technical matter of law, they can't declare bankruptcy. Municipalities may declare bankruptcy (and some have), but states may not.

Well in Obamas America this is good news afterall everything is backwards
Down is now Up
Bad is Good
5.9% unemployment bad (Bush)
9.9% unemployemnt good (Obama)

I guess I added to this problem. I was so accurate in my tax witholding that I actually got a $3.54 tax refund this year.

California still has
In-Home Supportive Services , whereby welfare recipients are turned into SEIU members. There must not be a fiscal crisis if this spending continues.
