Democrats in California, a Free State, Continue to Push Reparations Bills
Breitbart ^ | 04/25/2024 | JOEL B. POLLAK

California Democrats continue to pursue legislation aimed at reparations for slavery — even though the Golden State entered the Union in 1850 as a free state, and even though the state currently faces a massive budget deficit.

The Wall Street Journal noted earlier this week:

The California Senate’s Judiciary Committee voted 8 to 1 this month to create the California American Freedmen Affairs Agency. This would be an agency to implement recommendations from the state’s task force on reparations. It would establish a Genealogy Office to determine who would be eligible for a reparations windfall.

Days later the same committee cleared two other reparations bills. They are part of a package of 14 bills introduced in January. One bill approved by the committee would restore or compensate African-Americans for land taken for racially motivated reasons. The other bill would set aside 6% of state budget reserves to fund reparations.

The state’s budget deficit was recently projected to be $73 billion — nearly twice as much as the $38 billion that Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) had originally estimated. Just two years ago, California enjoyed a $100 billion surplus, thanks in part to federal coronavirus relief funds.

Those stupid, Californicating bass turds on the Left Coast decided to pay entry level “fries guys” 20 bucks an hour and now we pay $7.29 for a 13 oz. bag of potato chips. The azhos don’t understand how the economy works. Gruesome Newsom is a 100% moron.

Be interesting if their courts FORCED California to cover ALL black residents, even those who move there after the bill is signed. Might have a mass migration there...

Rising labor costs are a lagging indicator of inflation.

Most of these Wakanda “warriors” reparationators never worked a day in their lives. They pumped out offspring and had the government (”da village”) pay to raise them. They stayed home watching “Da View” or playing “Midnight Basketball” while Homer Honky built this country. The Californicators wouldn’t know about that. If the dumb bass turds want to give their money to REAL FORMER SLAVES, they should be giving it to the Mexican farm workers who came across the border and did all their work for them. Don’t believe all that jazz the Kenyan Boy spewed when he was on the throne. This bunch that are wanting extortion money from whitey now have spent the majority of their time playing basketball for their gang’s team.

They won't. The working middle-class will pay, as they pay for everything else in CA. Those who can are leaving (as I did).

No, no, no; y’all don’t unnerstand CaCaLand. Like with the bullet train this is a money laundering scam. Commie trash politicos need this bag of money to parcel out — AFTER — they have skimmed it. And, they will refill their budget with Fed $$$ after Newsome is installed into the WHouse. Just like with the WuhanFlu and lockdown programs.

Who is going to pay for it when all the major employers, except fast food and anyone with enough cash to leave has, there will only be grifters, politicians(sorry for the repetition, and wetbacks(from whatever stinking country) left? Christ, the moron democrats kept outrageously overspending the taxes of once very prosperous state that they are so far down the shitter they can't pay for their giveaways now.

So by all means take the state to full bankruptcy, but I doubt the Mad Queen of Hearts will be anything but a drooling idiot by that time and the other states, even democrat ones may no longer just pony up their money to bail Californication out this time.
