How does that increase compare to the increase in spending in California under Reagan?
Is it more, less, or a lot less?
Simple question.
Are you looking for excuses or the answer (the truth).
You question sounds like what happens when little billy gets caught with his hands in the cookie jar. “ Yesterday Susie stole a cookie”.
The question is not what others have done, it is what is right to do.
Is it right to run up state spending as a percent of the state’s GDP?
At some point, it is unsustainable. The politicians are just playing “last man holding the bag”.
Unfortunately the electorate are easily fooled and don’t check the facts vs what the candidates SAY.
So no matter what I or the candidates say, do your homework.....
If you want to vote for a big government guy, go ahead. Just don’t post on here that he is a small government guy.
