The administration is worried that California will enact massive cuts to close its deficit, estimated at $24 billion for the fiscal year that begins July 1, aggravating the state's recession and further dragging down the national economy.

Do these idiots even read the crap they write? Do their editors?

How is enacting "massive cuts" and reducing the cost of the state government going to aggravate the state's recession or drag down the national economy?

I swear, these pea-brained government propaganda ministry hacks don't have the slightest clue of what they're saying. They don't even attempt to make sense.

How is enacting "massive cuts" and reducing the cost of the state government going to aggravate the state's recession or drag down the national economy?

I think the thinking is that the cuts and reductions will at some point and to some degree reduce the amount of money flowing around.

If the state reduces its purchase of toilet paper by 50%, say, then the manufacturers and suppliers of toilet paper are going to be hurt and will in turn reduce the size of their workforce.

Then the newly unemployed workers of the toilet paper sector of the economy start trimming their personal budgets, cutting back from premium to basic cable and stretching the time between haircuts from 6 weeks to 9 weeks.

Then the cable companies and the owners of SuperCuts franchises start reducing the number of their employees, and on and on and on....

No, no, no windflier.
They know exactly what they`re saying, they`re pushing the buttons that work on the masses.

"You need this new oppressive law to protect you from those bad people" or "you need this new bailout because you'll suffer misery if it's not passed" or even "we must have a World financial institution to manage the Global economy" are all cogs in the same NWO machine.

Free seeking people of ghe World must realise this is a Global plan to enslave humanity and destroy Nationalities and borders.

These are all incessant, tiny steps towards World communism, and must be recognised as such.

Excuse my typos, I'm typing on my mobile phone.

spending is stimulus. say you close a day care center. free day care,ok? employees fired-they don’t spend. a few fammilies might not be able to afford pay care so one might quit a job.
i’m not saying this is a bad thing mind you. they need to melt down and get their house in order.but yea,cuts will be a drag n the economy.(some programs you can be sure spend more than they generate. most probably,but still will slow the economy at first.)
