(The Center Square) - California Democrats aren’t ruling out new taxes on state residents to pay for health care for illegal immigrants despite the program’s costs growing from $9.5 billion this year to $12.1 billion in California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s latest budget proposal, or just a little more than the state’s $11.9 billion budget shortfall.
Should new federal penalties pass, the program could cost the state an additional $4.4 billion in lost federal funding each year, increasing the relative cost of the program to $16.5 billion. An analysis from The Center Square has found the three main House GOP proposals for Medicaid would cost California nearly $40 billion per year.

Just shows stupid is alive and well. We need a wall around Kalifornia.
We don’t care if socialism fails we’re keeping it screw logic.
California
There is a limit on how much taxes a person will or can pay. Either they leave the taxing area or they change from a taxpayer to a government welfare additional member. Either way the government is in trouble. Raising taxes increases both option one and two. The only question is how long? How long till the taxing authority runs out of funding and fails.
It’s what Dems do.
The only difference between this government and communism is, communism controls everything allowing you barely enough to survive.
Our government’s’ take everything from you leaving barely enough for you to survive.
CA is absolute proof of that.
Californios providing a better life to Mexican Nationals and their extended families. ROTFL! They are such nice people.
It’s pretty simple. There is a California “Premium” people are willing to pay to live where the weather is mild and beaches and mountains and beauty.
That premium varies with each resident. Once it no longer becomes worth it....they decide to take action.
For us the “Premium” we paid for good weather, beaches, and mountains expired 16 years ago. We saw the writing on the wall and departed. For others, it’s still worth it. And the rich.....they don’t care. They can afford all this socialism.
I do miss the tacos though.
Progressives become progressively more stupid by the hour.
Gas is set to go up by $.65/cents/gallon on July 1st in California.
As of today, it’s ≈ $4.79 around the state. The idiot government is trying to get everyone to either buy an EV (which few want) or use dangerous and dirty - and inconvenient - public transport, which takes people from nowhere to nowhere. Some of the $$ is used for the mass boondoggle High Speed Rail (17 years billions wasted, not one train running and a date of 2033 for a small segment to be up and running).
I strongly suspect an exit tax is in the works - and it won’t be just for “the rich.” The Democrats know that - for the moment - they have a lock on this state - but not on people fleeing.
the democrats should be FORCED — by judicial Orders
of the District court or Law of the Congress —
to sell one of their own kidneys and their eyes
to raise that money for the criminal illegals
whom they remain eager to invite and favor.

Yeah, sounds like you can check out anytime but you can never leave. Some nasty vindictive Democrats in Cali.

As Dirty Harry said....that’s mighty white of them.

The problem is when they decide to move other states become infested. Migrating Californians are the new Mexicans, no one wants them; please stay home.
California will become the first state to get an anal DOGE exam with a microscope; count on it. That anal exam will be the first of many in the states including RED states that have corruption in their state governments down to dog catchers.
BTW, the citizens of California have a third RECALL of Greasy NewSCUM ongoing. Voter fraud put the POS in office and voter fraud beat the two previous RECALL initiatives. Greasy and his CA Marxist Assembly are despised.
CA voted RED in the prior two elections for DJT.
It should be very clear of a tax then. Perhaps on each paycheck stub as additional withholdings. The same people are going absolutely apeshit when their insurance rates are pushed towards the national average on a cost per dollar insured scale. It seems in anything but income taxes and gas taxes Californians are very involved.
They can tax all they want - just don’t even think that the people in the other 49 states should pay for it. Also, if they’re in the country illegally, they can and should be removed by the federal government.

I’m in Tijuana for dental work and spent some time in San Diego.
“Californios” and most Mexicans are nice people.
