I've been expecting this. Epic economic crash inc.

This is also why I expect Trump to win. No chance that Crooked Hillery will be picked over a businessman in Nov.

Don't worry about us. The Brown turd has a huge slush fund made up of unspent off road fees, hunting and fishing management fees, plus all the gun tax fees that were supposed to go to firearm safety classes.

Also gasoline taxes that were supposed to fix the crumbling mess we drive on are safely banked for a rainy liberal day.

As a life-long Californian of 75 years, I continue to hope against all hope, that somehow this worthless turd government will manage to go bust. I’ll open the best bottle or wine I have and raise my glass the day California goes under, with the hope that sanity, and fiscal responsibility would return sometime in the future.

So, just raise taxes by a billion dollars. Problem solved.

Every little uptake in receipts, sees California’s Legislature and Governor spend it ten times over.

Then we have a downturn in the economy and they scramble like cockroaches.

They raise taxes on everything and act surprised when they dont hit phony high projected revenues.

They know taxes decrease activity taxed. They knowingly report false high projections. They expect us to believe they didn’t know this wold happen.

One third, soon to be two thirds, of the people in the state getting free medical care..... How can this lack of revenue BE?? Yet we keep billing the rich with higher and higher taxes! What is going wrong??? Head scratcher. Let me sit by the open border in my sanctuary city and ponder this!

I’d like to think the shortfall would mean that we’d have to trim the budget, but then I remember we have Brown and his co-governor wife at the helm. They will strangle the property owners to give more entitlements to illegals than a natural born citizen receives.

Ahole was never good at math. He’s just good at stealing working peoples’ money for the parasites.

He tried taxing the “rich” to cover everything. Now he’ll just tax everyone (like he hasn’t already been doing that).

That’s the beauty - false though it is - of liberalism: Every problem has the same solution. Raise taxes. It saves the poor dears from having to think too hard.

Have the Kollyfornia/Mexifornia tax and spend socialists run out of other people’s money yet? 17.32% Debt to GDP ratio (place mark).

The states have become the stomping grounds of socialists. (Will Trump supporters be stomped to death by the government paid invaders? Developing.)

Just another reason why Trump is hitting it off so big in California - they want a President who sets and example and who won’t try to push off all of California’s tax-sucking programs on the rest of the Nation. Go Trump!

They know, but they'll buy votes and enrich themselves until they're term limited. All they have to do is keep the Ponzi Scheme going while they're at the helm. Then when it crashes down, they'll blame it all on their successor. Amazing it's gone on this long.
