Over the last 15 years, California racked up three small surpluses, two break-evens and 10 huge deficits.
“There’s not a lot of money left in the budget,” said Gov. Jerry Brown regarding the $164.7 billion budget unveiled Friday. “It’s very tight.”
The real reason money is tight is Brown and the Democratic legislature increased spending by five percent in a period when inflation is averaging 1.3 percent. California’s proposed spending will jump $5.8 billion more than inflation.

Oh for the love of Pete. They can still vote when they’re dead!
Well hell Jerry, you know the drill. Ask for a tax increase. That solves ALL problems.
The better question is, why won’t the Republican party make an issue of it?
It’s wildly unpopular even in California. Everyone’s insurance went up and provider cancellations are happening all over. No one who votes wants to hear that its all going to subsidies for illegals.
But utter one word, and the Bush family along with the entire RINO front jumps in screaming “racist!”
>>That solves ALL problems. <<
It solved mine — it forced me to move to Texas and get a 10% NET pay increase.
As many of their people they can shuttle across the border that Lord Foul says is more secure than it's ever been!
What’s this “Republican party” thing of which you speak?
This does not count the impact of imported incurable
infectious diseases, so beloved by the EXEMPT pRes_ _ent
and his enabling EXEMPT (treasonous) Congress.
Mexico, El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras thanks you!
One huge silver-lining of the next stock market/Wall Street Debt crash (sorry about your 401K) will be what it does to governments and budgets in places like California and New York.
2009 “stimulus” was simply a bail-out for State Governments. I doubt that can be repeated - and how is the Fed going to lower interest rates even more than they are now?
This is exactly why the Federal Reserve is the foundation of Progressive Government.
It was a pre-Villaraigosian commercial order made up of elderly albinos who wore oddly colored raiments (”checkered coats”) and white shoes. Strangely obsessed with swatting small balls on lawns.
It was rumored that they conducted significant trade in this venue, but no artifacts of the usual goods exchanged have been found, other then one strange label which said “Cadillac”, rumored to have been a carriage manufacturer in the OldMid.
There are some Newportians said to be descended from this group, still living in small redoubts near El Isla de Balboa; this cannot be confirmed as they do not speak our national language of Nahuatl and pray to an odd deity known as “BillGross”.
Welcome to Texas!
I’m in the hospital typing this waiting for my wife to give birth to our third child right now.
I just forked over $1.5k for the bill (my copay)....I noticed the wets here at the hospital, all of who are illegal, won’t pay a dime for their babies to be born or for the care they are given, at taxpayer expense. TV channels in spanish, signs declaring their “rights” in spanish.....WTF kind of freebee nation for foreign turd-worlders did we become?
... Democratic legislature increased spending ...
Just as the sun rises in the east.
“It’s wildly unpopular even in California. Everyone’s insurance went up and provider cancellations are happening all over. No one who votes wants to hear that its all going to subsidies for illegals.”
Why? Because all the pols have to do is yell gay marriage, women hater, abortion, and any other pushbutton emotional issue and people forget exactly what the real issues are.
Abandon hope all ye who enter here.
Juvenile emotionalism seems to be the dominant behavioral norm in California, explaining virtually every idiot trend over the last 50 years here
LOLOL...spectacular description of the rumored extinct species. Well written!
If Californians are so stupid to welcome illegal aliens in by the millions, overwhelming their limited water supply, overcrowding their schools, infecting people with their pestilence, living off their health and welfare, plus now driving their roads with state-issued driver’s licenses, then they deserve to go bankrupt and choke on the result. Not one penny of federal money should be given to bail them out of their stupidity.
Congratulation! God Bless you for bringing a new baby into the world. It must be wonderful to have a growing family. All the best to you and your wife.
Back in canada, the insurance car system is run by the govt. Your average is 120 CDN comprehensive. I get comprehensive here and mine is $113 in mexifornia. I should have gone back and there won’t be a difference.
