Poor just got poorer

"We all understand that the state is out of money," O'Hara added. "But . . .

That final "but" just proves that she DOESN'T understand.

[Da Coyote]

And am I to assume that O’Hara has recommended a massive reduction on salaries to fellow government loaf..er..workers along with “teachers”, etc?

Thought so.

Shove it up your smelly Obama, O’Hara.

[mrsmith]

There’s nothing surer...

But ain’t they got fun!

The cost of Illegal Aliens to California, alone, is $21.8 billion/year. If California would actually follow the law; most, if not all of their budgetary deficit would vanish.

Instead of paying your bills, just send a note letting them know that you are out of money. I'm sure they'll understand.

Jerry Brown and the California Legislature by raising taxes and creating more regulatory red tape are driving businesses out of the state. Those businesses could be providing jobs for these welfare queens.

[Terry Mross]

Kalifornia will soon be the next Greece.

Less dough for those that refuse to work, my heart bleeds.

Maybe O'Hara can as some of her illegal alien clients where the jobs are so her legal resident clients can take their jobs when O'Hara turns the illegals in and opens up that job, getting rid of a double dip.

Unfortunately that is not their goal, their goal is simple: make as many people as humanly possible dependent on the government for their daily subsistence, while simultaneously punishing those who refuse to become wards of the state.

See Communist Manifesto.

Minimum wage: the idea that a job at $5 an hour is worse than having no job at all.

[cherry]

all it would take is that the govt unions agree to small decreases in wages, benefits, and pensions, for all their workers....

but no.....they'll go after school sports and diababled services first....

[Opinionated Blowhard]

That final "but" just proves that she DOESN'T understand.

The final "but" proves she's advocating shoving CA further toward Socialism with a huge tax increase, followed by another and another until the state controlled most private income and allocated it as the state sees fit.

while some teacher get a 28% raise, from the article I read yesterday here on FR...

I love it when identity groups clash under the “big tent”

2 Thessalonians 3:10

For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.

[upchuck]

This is a good start.

"The Poor" - oops, my mistake. I thought she meant the endlessly-paying taxpayers... I live in the SF Valley. I need a new roof for my crummy old one-bthroom tiny house. I can't afford it - because 50% of my incomes goes TO THE GOV'T. I have to borrow the money, to pay for the roof. Why can't those who need student loans borrow the money? Why do I HAVE TO "BORROW," FOR THEM, AFTER I GIVE THEM MY TAXES? (I'm a girl BTW, but the pic seemed accurate.)

[Gaffer]

We are not asking them to try to live on this so-called Grant Money for less; we are telling them to get off their fat asses and go get a frickin job!

[nascarnation]

They’re not stupid. The unions and administrators know where to cut to make the most pain on parents.

Here in Indiana some districts’ first response was to eliminate bus transportation.

I rent a one-bedroom in Weho. I love the weather here, but... geez. Sometimes I dream of going back to the Midwest.
