California Democrats balk at deeper cuts for state's poorest residents

I guess some Dems don't know that others are hoping to kill billions of people ease the world population.

Well, they could issue those “Californicate Chitmans” instead of real money and not cut anything. All payments will be 70% real money and 30% in Califoricate Chitmans. Solves the problem in a good socialist way.

Democrats haven’t cut enough if they are still getting benefits including retirement. If the nine elections limiting their terms have said nothing else, it is that the people of California do not believe legislators have a career, it is just brief service.

They could sell those oil leases off the coast...

What occurs is concentration. Those that profit from the system stay, those who don’t escape and the concentration of Dem voters increases. It keeps the Dems in power locally, but if we could get the Constitution kick started and reign in the FEDGOV these cities/counties would be done in a year or less.

You’d see Democrats looking mighty conservative and pronto.
