Forty years ago, in 1964, when California admirably met the needs of its people, it spent $202 per person from both general and special funds. That’s $1,160 adjusting for inflation. $1,160. You are about to vote on a budget that spends $2,878 per person. And let me ask you – where are the roads, where are the aqueducts, where are the power plants, where are the top-flight schools and universities that our parents delivered 40 years ago?

I'm not from California, but this is the kind of question that ought to be asked in every state a lot more often than it is.

Once you start asking those questions, the leftists lifta dn shift their aiming to you and lay a barrage of "Racist! Fascist! Homophobe! Woman-hater! What about the children?"

Too few can endure the cacaphony for long and bank-breaking budgets are passed laden with entitlement programs for everyone but the productive.
