Gov. Gavin Newsom’s budget plan would have California pay to send every 4-year-old to kindergarten, give broke college students a place to live, put more homeless people in hotel rooms, provide health insurance for older adults living in the country illegally, start a new polytechnic university, wipe out delinquent traffic tickets for poor people and give cash payments up to $1,100 to two-thirds of taxpaying adults.

If CA would open up drilling along its coast, they would be flush with both energy and revenues from the energy companies.

This is the same governor who with a straight face proposed solving homelessness by having doctors write prescriptions for housing, right? Because, you know, it’s just that easy.

Communism abhors the working class. Democrats double down on communism by not only crushing the working/middle
class but also benefiting and nurturing the criminal/millennial class.

Then Gov. Newsom rubs our masked noses in this merde only to tell us our sinuses are filled with ice cream.

Newsom is desperate to keep his job and will spend as much of taxpayers money as he needs to. Another reason to give him the boot!

Given the law of economics (or human nature) that says that whatever you pay for you will get more of it, what do you think the consequences of this idiocy will be?

Why not just pay $100 to each person who votes to not recall him. Or, even more efficient, just pay Dominion and cut the middleman voter out of both the payment and the vote.

Thanks to the so-called “stimulus” bill, Washington D.C. had flooded the People’s Republic of California and other blue states with a boat load of cash at the taxpayer’s expense.

Interesting...just as the recall comes, he finds $100B. Maybe other states should threaten recalls, as that would solve their budget problems.

No offense but I hope you realize they have been unevenly applying the protections and punishments for years.

Dems skate, conservatives go to prison.

Until the SCOTUS is totally corrupted (instead of partially) by packing, the SCOTUS might rule to properly apply the 14 Amendment as you correctly state. Might.

True.

His wearing a white beard and Santa suit as he promised all the money giveaways was a clue as to the Uniparty’s strategy.

Voter: “Which party and candidate will promise me the most goodies and money and will deliver?”

True.


So, how do we get the money to run out faster?

Either eliminate the money river flowing out to the bums. Or the bums. (Uh, I mean by education and job training and stuff.)

just imagine how hugh the budget would be with a RINO like aRnie in the office.. and of course, kiddies get a big chunk which means teachers unions win again and again.

He gave the candy store away back then.. I have no doubts he’d do it again.

a sizeable chunk of the “surplus” (’extorted’ taxpayer money) is COVID at $27Billion from the Feds?

Yet, Gavin will now claim how wonderful things are even as we sailed into the heart of a maelstrom and survived.

NewScum

( Same as the old scum btw )

Pulled a bait and switch on the seniors on S.S. re $ 600 California state stimulus.

those who have no taxable California state tax can not receive it.

Instead, they are ‘ eligible’ for a $ 600 California Golden Grant,

as long as they file a California state tax return,

which they can’t even if the wanted to

cuz California will only let them file if they had taxable income.

Bait and switch with built in catch 22 !

Where’s the Californian Golden Grant Stimulus money going then NewScum !

Hmmm ?

When seniors figured out they got shafted, and asked what up, they were told California was talking with the feds to resolve the catch 22,,,

,,and they’ll circle back to them,,sometime.

Ya, sure , I totally believe and trust NewScum,cuz he’s got that grifter smile back on TV.
/S
