Blade Runner
Here are the real problems as listed from the report but NOT emphasized in any of the reporting:
The cost of benefitsmainly workers retirement and healthcare costshave been rising rapidly and cannot be sustained at current revenue levels. Pension costs
accounted for 3% of the Citys budget a decade ago, and 18% this year. The cost of covering further increases will continue to cut into the Citys ability to supply services.
Los Angeles is Weak in Job Creation
Too Many Angelenos Live In Poverty
Big Things Dont Get Done
LA Suffers From Chronic Budget Deficits
Regulatory Burdens Are Stifling for Small Employers
Stopgap Measures and Band-Aid Solutions
Pie-in-the-Sky Revenue Forecasts Wont Save The City
Budget Gimmickry
Transparency and Accountability Are Lacking
So, there’s nothing really unique in this laundry list of urban woes: it’s the exact same list in every failing Democrat-run fiefdom.
The Blade Runner version would be preferable, due to those anatomically correct pleasure replicants. Wait, did I say that out loud?
1. 40% of all workers in L. A. County ( L. A. County has 10.2 million people) are working for cash and not paying taxes. This is because they are predominantly illegal immigrants working without a green card.
2. 95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens.
3. 75% of people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens.
4. Over 2/3 of all births in Los Angeles County are to illegal alien Mexicans on Medi-Cal, whose births were paid for by taxpayers.
5. Nearly 35% of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican nationals here illegally.
6. Over 300,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles County are living in garages.
7. The FBI reports half of all gang members in Los Angeles are most likely illegal aliens from south of the border.
8 Nearly 60% of all occupants of HUD properties are illegal.
9. 21 radio stations in L. A. are Spanish speaking.
10. In L.. A. County 5.1 million people speak English, 3.9 million speak Spanish.. (There are 10.2 million people in L. A. County ..)
Less than 2% of illegal aliens are picking our crops, but 29% are on welfare. Over 70% of the United States ‘annual population growth(and over 90% of California , Florida , and New York ) results from immigration.
29% of inmates in federal prisons are illegal aliens .
I settle for the franchise to be limited to net tax payers.
If you can’t run your own affairs in the black without government help, you don’t get a say in how public affairs are run.
I’d settle
