"$670 million annually in federal grants, plus $3.3 billion in statewide military and defense revenue, lawmakers, administration officials and experts estimate. The University of California is anticipating 5 percent hits to its $3.3 billion federally funded research program as well as its $1.5 billion in U.S. student aid program, on top of federal cuts enacted last year. School districts around the state would also take sucker punches."

How's that in state tuition and access to financial aid for illegal aliens working out for you California?

[Venturer]

California home of Pelosi, Feinstein, Boxer, Pig man, Waters, Gee they would suffer? Gosh thats a tough teat isn’t it?

[Principled]

Something tells me these little guys are going to be getting a workout these next couple of weeks.

“”The state’s budget may be balanced””

Since when?

[sickoflibs]

Not the Bay area!

The GOP MUST go along with Obama tax increases to stop these cuts to the Bay area. This just is not fair!

[FlingWingFlyer]

I imagine all those taxes currently being paid by their illegal aliens (according to the “immigrant” advocates) will be enough to bail them out.

[Newbomb Turk]

Well now that I know this I say SEQUESTER AWAY !

[Chode]

all i can say is... GOOD!!!

[samadams2000]

OMG! What will all the illegal aliens do now!!!?

[TigersEye]

Bay Area, California to lose big if federal sequester cuts hit this week

For those in the Bay Area who are feeling down about it I suggest tying a steak around your neck and taking a brisk swim in the bay.

“The state’s budget may be balanced”

LOL, just because Governer moonbeam projects a year end balanced budget that myth is now passed along as fact.

[Adder]

Lordy! Its 85 billion in the entire country!

The panic stories have about 5million people losing their jobs, all told.

Get a freakin grip, press corps.

School districts around the state would also take sucker punches., on top of federal cuts enacted last year. School districts around the state would also take sucker punches.

What kind of a drug-addled illiterate buffoon writes this stuff?

Sucker punches?
School Districts around the state?
What the hell are all these incompetent school distrincts doing spending my federal tax dollars?
Local school districts get more local taxes than they deserve.

Give me a break!

[SaxxonWoods]

Wait, wait wait...

Obama’s top advisors came up with the sequester idea, Obama liked it and pushed it, congress passed it and Obama signed it into law.

And it’s no good?

[txrefugee]

What are Californians smoking, that they are optimistic about that sad state’s recovery?

If any state deserves to suffer, it’s the defunct Golden State: Land of Fruits, Nuts and Soaring Taxes.

[GeronL]

why would they be upbeat??

[cripplecreek]

Just when Californians are finally feeling upbeat again about where the state is heading, here comes a fresh downer: The federal sequester cuts set to kick in this week could cost California billions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of jobs while making most of our daily lives more difficult.

If the economy relies on federal money, there is no reason to feel upbeat about where the economy is heading.

[Rodamala]

Awwww...

[upchuck]

Kali is gonna suffer? Wait! Kali is “unique” and “special.”

What about all the other states jerkweed?
