“Im wondering if were about to see the states, blue and red, turn on their illegal aliens and give them the boot, out of sheer desperation.”
REALITY... Illegal is illegal. The only right they have is a trip back where they came from.
Arnie feels your pain, he’s going to take a salary cut too while staying on the job.
Maybe they can print the dollar on matchbook covers, then at least it will have some utility.
Picking two of the agencies at random and copy/pasting/summing results: $1,101,828.00 for the Afro-American Museum for 18 salaries. Departmental budgets and facilities must bring the total to >$10m. Gambling Control Commission salaries total $5,114,065.92 for 73 employees. Again, budgets and facilities. I didn't even realize that CA had gambling.
One commenter there suggested that State workers reduce their withholding to take up some of the slack. I’m thinking that people in the free enterprise sector, whose jobs are shaky, might do the same. Those that KNOW they will be laid off might jack up their withholding — state and federal — to zero. It seems prudent to me. Who knows? There might be a bailout for those who didn’t pay their taxes this year. Things are so crazy I’ll start to believe anything.
On top of everything else, decling income taxes will drive the State and the Feds even deeper in the red. As the song says, “I see a bad moon a’risin’.
Well, I guess now is as good as any time as any to throw away those cigarettes.
“this resulting debacle, which I place squarely on the doorstep of the Democratic equalization of wealth socialist philosophy”
How can anyone but ingoramuses and fellow travelers trust the Democrats any more? Does any Freepers think the Rs are just as culpible? Not culipible, but *just* as culpible?
“declining income taxes will drive the State and the Feds even deeper in the red”
The Feds are 10+ trillion in debt and Obama is predicting 1 trillion dollar deficits for the foreseeable future (hmmmm...wondering what would have happend to Pres. Bush if he’d predicted trillion dollar defecits for years on end...hmmm...and then add what would have happened if he’d done that concurrently to fighting the War on Terror - the Iraq front?? any guesses?)
Anyone want to guess how deep the Feds will go into the red before Obama (and the Ds) are driven from office?
I searched the site for the last name “Mattson”, there was no one close to the name Susan Mattson at the Dept. of Employment. There is a Michael Mattson, a senior electronics tech that works for UC-Davis, not the Department of Employment. Is the Sac-Bee making up stories?
Well, Jolene, if you are not a Christian, do not believe in Jesus Christ as your Savior, and His Father, then you just wasted your breath because He is not going to be listening too your prayer.
I noticed that, too.
Wow!
I just did a search for UC Santa Barbara... I had NO IDEA Professors made that much money. 497 people there make WAY in excess of $100k. Unbelievable!
I've wondered that too. When push comes to shove and even liberals are losing their jobs. they might figure out that it's time for the criminal aliens to get the hell out.
Perhaps a perm. furlough would would be better.
If it ain’t in the budget...it ain’t in the budget.
I believe labor union dues is mandatory in CA unless you claim some sort of religious exemption.
Wait until you need service by a gov’t employee and then we will see how useless you seem to think their service is.
anybody "barely making it" while working for government is living far above their means.
Susan Mattson, 51, said she and her husband, Mike, who work for different offices of the Department of Employment Development's disability insurance branch, will suffer if furloughs proceed.
"We get hit twice," she complained during a walk around the state Capitol. "We didn't think it would happen."
guess ya shoulda had at least ONE real job in the house instead of two SNOUTS IN THE PUBLIC TROUGH!!!
Great link!
