Without politics Jerry Brown would be standing on the corner of a busy interection with a cardboard sign.
What to do, what to do?
Oh! Hey! I know!,
We can raise the taxes on the top earners, you know, the ones who pay 45% of the taxes already?Yeah, that's the ticket!
This is poetic justice of sorts. His administration was the beginning of California’s institutional decline and now he has to deal with the consequences of what he set in motion during the 1970’s.
Another shocker from the party of take and spend.
If there’s any good news politically in California, it may be that Democrats are completely in charge.
Every single statewide elected constitutional officer in California, from governor on down, is a Democrat.
Democrats control the State Assembly and State Senate by comfortable margins.
Politically, there is no way that Democrats can blame Republicans for any of the problems in California. They are completely in charge, from top to bottom. They have the power to implement whatever they want, to solve the problems of California. They can’t say they are being blocked by evil Republicans or any of that.
For better or worse, good Democrats are in charge of a major American state. For better or worse, their policies will be implemented, and we’ll see how these policies work to solve the enormous problems of the Golden State.
Jerry's plan? Raise taxes, build more windmills and enforce a stupid cap-n-tax plan.
The rats have made a complete mess of CA and they show no intention of slowing down or changing course.
Forgot a BARF Alert.
“Democratic legislators are balking at the spending cuts and pension reforms...”

Stunning.
Apparently, while California CLEARLY is in unrecoverable free fall, the ground is not yet in sight for the Idiot Communists.
It's the poverty pimps vs the SEIU.
This is the last step before complete implosion. There's not enough money for both.
This means the Legislature will NOT be able to agree on a budget. The state will miss the very next bond payment after the next budget is due. They won't even be able to access the short-term bond market to carry them over for a few weeks while state politics lay in a smoking ruin.
This is cool.
It’s only a problem when the businesses refuse to sell to the state.
Majority of Californians get what they deserve. Meg Whitman (who would have brought real solutions, ideas to Sacto) was utterly trashed by the media and lying leftists.
So the majority leftist populace got their Moonbeam redux Part 2. Whoever voted for the old man should not complain about the results.
Give the guy a break, it is tough to destroy the same state twice. I mean, once it is destroyed the first time, there isn’t as much downside. I have confidence in Jerry’s ability to collapse the California economy.
