The state budget will continue to swell as it runs at a 10% annual growth rate, raising taxes will be inevitable as who has the will to cut anything ?

Yes, the runaway spending and socialism in our state will be its final undoing. As the productive businesses continue to move out of the state, the libs will keep raising taxes, which will be the final death spiral for the what was the nation's strongest state economy. And of course we have to keep increasing spending on illegal aliens -- over $10 Billion per year now...again for liberal votes and empowerment.
Sad to see what was the nations' greatest state, turned into a liberal latrine, a welfare-entitlement state pandering to gutter-level voters all for the sake of liberal empowerment. All in the total absence of any kind of government spending control.
I agree, it is sad.
This state is still full of potential, but this no holds barred spending binge that started in the late 90s continues pretty much unabated, no matter how much the Gub and his staff tries to say otherwise.
The borrowing that was done after the Recall to tide the state over gave the dems an out that has been nothing but the drop in the bucket of borrowing to come.
This is not all the sole doing of the dems either btw, as one need only ask who proposes budgets and who signs them?
