I’d put it in the pension fund. That would help California population more then anything. The future they will have to deal with it anyway. Might as well shore it up now.

“get money back into the pockets of Californians,”
By taking more out of our pockets.

When they should have left it in said pockets in the first place.

A budget surplus like that—based more on revenue from taxes and from federal largesse than from cost-cutting—is criminal.

A couple billion applied to Thorium nuke power plants. Another couple billion applied to water desalination and pumping. A couple billion to build some extra prisons.
A couple billion in tax refunds.

Just making a few recommendations.

And come summer we’ll have no gas, no water and no electricity.

And lots of wild fires. Mail-in ballots will save California.

There IS no net.

We’re flying without one.

Usually a budget surplus means too many taxes were collected. During these times it usually means too much magic money created out of thin air in DC and spread around to their favorite states

I know. Just an attempt at humor with a touch of truth.

All the balls are still in the air. The net will be determined at some later date when the politicians run out of road to kick the can down. In the meanwhile, we’re just trying to survive in the mid-game of this ponzi scheme.
