Today, the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association blasted the phony budget proposed by the Democrat majority in the legislature. ... (They use)illegal maneuvers and gimmicks: a CALFire surcharge on home insurance policies is illegal; stealing of $1 billion from California’s First Five funds is illegal; the $1.2 billion .. from the sale of State office buildings has already been determined to be illegal. “If self-serving lawmakers attempt to circumvent Prop. 13 and the will of the people,” said Coupal, “We will see them in court.”

The Rats know the budget is illegal but they will spend the money until the courts stop them. They are also hoping that they can get four Pubbies to cave in and agree to tax increases.

Apparently, the libs are going to keep steering straight into the face of certain doom, while driving every decent and productive person right out of the state.

Madness....

Elections have consequences....

....a majority of the people who vote evidently like what is going on in California, so you are stuck with Jerry Brown and all the other reprobates.....

....if you don't like it you have options:

...work like hell to vote out this bunch

...leave California....

.... suck it up and eat dirt...

...or.....

Even Moonbeam agreed that the Rats’ budget was a fairy tale told by idiots. He just vetoed it.

They did it so they’d keep getting their undeserved pay and perks. They fool nobody!

Well, one thing you can count on for sure is Democrats reaching new lows. Just when you’ve think they’ve sunk as far as possible, whammo!, they reach yet another new low.

In fact, it’s really pretty spooky because classical mathematics says that eventually Democrats would sink so low that they would reach their absolute limit of lowness. But that doesn’t seem to be the case in the real world, with Democrats reaching new lows on a daily basis. It would appear that Democratic lowness transcends classical mathematics.
