Go for it Moonbeam

[stylin19a]

and that amount would be for starters. double it in 3 years.

[going hot]

Maybe BROWN can hit up Venezuela for a loan?

[Mouton]

If the estimate is 400b figure it will be 800b when more leaches arrive.

[PGR88]

living in a multi-decade long era of ever-growing, massive government debt, in a printed, fiat currency makes politicians very bold (and stupid).

[digger48]

The “mental health” coverage will take up half of that.

[Joe Bfstplk]

The U.S. is on a slant, and anything loose ends up in California.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

Doesn’t matter that it will cost more than the present state budget. We are under the control of people who think money just appears. They will bankrupt the state before they will give up their crazy ideas. They will squeeze every last penny out of a sick population. People deserve the government they get.

[Pelham]

Nothing is too much to spend in order to give our Illegal Alien Overlords the life that they wish to lead.

Just ask Jeb Bush.

[Reno89519]

And since they want to be a sanctuary state, how much of that would go to illegal aliens. No fed money to California!

BFL

[Captain Peter Blood]

All they have to do is look at what happened in Massachusetts and factor in all the goodies in the California Plan and disaster is not even a strong enough word.

The only way to make it work is to loot Calpers and then what will happen. The kind of high taxes necessary to make it work will force business and high income out of California at a record pace. Even the Film industry may move back to Flagstaff, Arizona.

[silverleaf]

Hmm
How long does someone have to domicile in CA to claim all the goodies
Better yet spend money purchasing citizenship in a 3 rd world country and then just show up in California if you get seriously ill

[rbg81]

So when has it ever stopped them before?

[NetAddicted]

What’s their state tax going to be? 75%?

[antidemoncrat]

Gov. Moonbeam can just get the extra $ required from the freeloader tax payers he dissed recently.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Edison, New Jersey, actually.

[outofsalt]

"If the estimate is 400b figure it will be 800b when more leaches arrive."

And that's not even factoring in the free abortions and prophylactics!

[RetiredTexasVet]

When it’s free ... they will come and come and come and take and take and take and whine, moan and protest when it ends.
