More lies from Jerry Brown. First, the $16B is a lie - the real deficit is $25B or more if you count the $$ California owes to the USG. Second, the term “temporary tax hike” is an oxymoron - we all know these will become permanent. Third, and speaking of permanent, the only cuts that make sense are the ones Brown is too chicken to propose: 20% across-the-board reduction in funding and staff for every state agency. Get rid of furlough days and pay the remaining employees properly and tell them to do more with less just as the private sector does.

Years ago my Grandpa gave me a bumper sticker: “If it’s Brown, flush it.” Some wisdom is timeless.

Why should all of this be NEWS? These voters elected liberals, socialists and communists in their state government, would they expect any thing differently? This state have been anti-business, whether large or small businesses or small businesses. And they have done a marvelous job in chasing as many of these businesses away from California for the last two years, and because they have no other cure for their state of economy, more and more businesses will leave California. By the time election time comes around, if anyone in this state still vote for these people, they deserve the kind of government they get.

Dear Governor Brown,

Quit buying the votes of government unions and other schlubs on the state dole with our tax dollars!

Sincerely,

Rockitz
