These are not political IMF bankers. They are bottome line bean counters who care less about spin and politics.

It will be a good thing. It will expose the fat and graft that is miles high in the Kali budgets.

They care about getting paid back and won't necessarily care how that happens, meaning the path of least resistance. In California, that's taxes, not reductions in spending or increased efficiency. I don't think they're actively malevolent as some do, but I don't trust them to have our best interests in mind when they're 'fixing' things.
