It was not long ago that California was facing a $24 billion deficit. That was a big problem. People might be opposed to the way Brown solved that giant problem but there is no denying he solved it.

You are so trusting.
These are projected surpluses. Nothing is proved to have been solved yet.

I agree. This is like a family who is 300K in debt winning a $100 scratch off lottery ticket.

Yeah, lets go out for dinner!

But dad, our lights are being shut off, and the water, too!

I SAID we're going out for dinner! Alert the press.

I am not so trusting that I don't think there is a very serious fiscal problem facing California and the country. But objectively, the deficit in California is down. The last I heard it was down to a $1 billion deficit so this article came as a bit of a surprise that there is a surplus.

It is not a matter of trust. It is a matter of looking at the numbers. There is still a very serious problem as I think everyone on FR will agree. This forum, however, is not about politics. It is a place where conservatives discuss issues among themselves and come up with the right answer.

The question is this: Has the California defict dropped from $24 billion to $1 billion or even a surplus?
