But what else can the poor man do? We all know there is no absolutely no fat or waste whatsoever in the California budget.

And two more “powerballs” to the lottery machine, number each ball from 0-255. That ought to reduce the odds of payout enough to make even more money for the state.
At least for a few months. And as the jackpot “grows” some mathematically unskilled persons will throw even more money to lottery tickets.

Where does the money that USED to go to education (before the lottery was established) now go?

California tax codes are kinder to those working in the entertainment sector than they are to those working in other fields. Perhaps the perks need to end. It is a billion dollar industry after all.

The state considers you to be negligent in your taxes. They depend on those dollars.

If a corporate CEO tried this he would be shuffled off to prison for fraud. Why are government CEO’s any different?

Why doesn’t he just star in Terminator IV, The Rise of Judgment Day in Sinking California, and donate the profits to the state coffers?

Proud to say this is one reason why I voted against the lottery.

and what you sell /tax next year, and the year after?
>> The other $10 billion would be left in a reserve fund
that reserve fund will really last.

It’s the old ‘we’ll stick it away for a rainy day’ gambit we’ve heard before, and more than once the last few years.. the smoke and mirrors never stop nor does the spending and hence, the borrowing..
What’s the definition of insanity.. doing the same things over and over again and expecting different results?
