I am not conversant with California's budgets, but I would guess the shocking, unacceptable cuts that no one is willing to make would amount to modest 5-10% cuts in actual spending (as opposed to politicians' fantasy "cuts" in the rate of spending increase) over a period of years.

Ordinary families and businesses do this all the time. Only vote-buying politcos are horrified by a little belt tightening.

What Vendome is saying applies to every government with in the US.

So that any effort by the people to stop revenue generation to fund programs is justified,

That’s the DNC position alright!

See my post #31 in this thread and I think it explains my position.

Of course you are correct. Everyone sees and wants cuts “just don't cut my bene’s”.

That of course is childish as the article states. And I am not a fan of Ms. Bass whatsoever.
