The state has also spent $2.1 billion more than expected,

LOL so much for a free press and the MSM. No report on what the spending was for. I guess they were sleeping at the switch or somehow didn't notice this. Perhaps too busy digging in garbage cans in Wasilla, AK

Just confiscate the wealth of all those rich Hollyweird types.

I can live without their effluent crap for the next five to ten years...they can go back to waiting tables and scrubbing floors.

By the way, did you all see Obama-backer Betty White’s house? I posted a picture of it on a couple other threads. Maybe Jerry Brown can just sell that mansion to a Chinese couple and apply the monies to his deficit.

Fair share and all, you know.

The California Legislature is now largely composed of perverts and “Third World” invaders. I suggest that a constitutional amendment be passed requiring any “Fee” or tax increase be approved by a vote of the people. To put it another way the power to levy taxes must be taken from the legislature.

Looks like the state will have to institute “Austerity”. And when I say Austerity I mean, of course: enormous tax hikes.

Gov. Jerry Brown announced on Saturday that the state's deficit has ballooned to $16 billion, a huge increase over his $9.2-billion estimate in January.

He must be doing something wrong...

"This means we will have to go much further, and make cuts far greater, than I asked for at the beginning of the year," Brown said in the video.

They just need to double down on what has made them successful. Increase taxes and drive more productive citizens out. Increase welfare and other subsidies for illegals and those unwilling to work. Spend more on schools, children and prisoners. Increase regulations on business. Increase payments and benefits for public workers and pay lifetime pensions and medical care for public employees that no longer work. They’ll balance the budget in no time.

In California, they think they are so smart and more advanced than just about any other state.

“But, guess what - they're not.”

Where are all the celebrity and sports greedheads?

You'd think they would take up a little collection amongst themselves to help the state out.

Oh, wait, what was I thinking! They spend other people's money and horde theirs.

Wisconsin has a surplus and is putting money in its “rainy day fund”. We had a huge defecit when Walker was inaugurated. Not only did he pay off our debt (the previous Gov. had borrowed money from MN), Walker finished the year with a surplus.

Ha! Ha! Ha!

"Lawmakers and others were hoping that a rebounding economy would help the state avoid steep cuts to social services."

Proof positive that libs buy into their own circle jerk propaganda. Any half wit with their eyes half open, can see that there's no economic rebound occurring.

Dear California: you elect stupid people to government jobs (i.e. Brown, Boxer, Pelosi, Feinstein, etc.....). Since you know that they’re stupid to begin with, then you are OK with paying people to be stupid. If you were electing them to be HEAD CHIEF AND BOTTLEWASHER at the our gang clubhouse, well, that’s a non-paying job. Doesn’t cost anything. But electing stupid people to be in charge of the taxpayer’s hard-earned dollars? Oh my........
