I dunno.

Call me crazy but 700,000,000 ÷ 100= 7,000,000 people in the state unemployed?

If that's true you got a real problem that is getting ready to explode

I imagine it costs way more than $100 per person to put someone on welfare

By the looks of it, California could be spending 6x that on welfare benefits pretty soon https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/politics/sdut-welfare-capital-of-the-us-2012jul28-htmlstory.html

So, my fuzzy math says you could spend $4.2 billion per month you are not currently spending and that is just for welfare checks https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/politics/sdut-welfare-capital-of-the-us-2012jul28-htmlstory.html

Well Mr empty suit, I guess Kalifornia can’t pay that extra $100 and folks will just have to get by on $700 a week ($400 max State, $300 Federal)

Hey, maybe they should allow businesses to open, so people won’t need unemployment benefits to survive. Crazy idea, right?

CA should secede ASAP so that we can enjoy the sure to come collapse.

We can then invade, “take care” of the progressives and GOOGLE, clean the sh*t out of PelosiTown, and restore the state to its former glory.

So Pretty Boy Newsome are you saying the 30 billion or so spent SO FAR on the train to nowhere might have come in handy. I bet you are, you just aren’t saying it out loud.

There’s ~2.8m unemployed in CA as of June so the 700M a week is BS just like everyone in government in CA.

Well, Newscum, if you would stop showering money on illegals and criminals, you could afford to help taxpaying cirizens.

Everyone knows Dems can’t do simple arithmetic. Even if they could, Nuisance is sending millions to illegal immigrants which inflate what is actually needed by the state.

Like all fat, big spending government programs to “help the people” most of that money goes to bureaucrats, patronage, contractors, kickbacks “oversight”, etc.

Didn’t the state have to cough up funds under the $600 a week pla?

Not a peep out of them then.

Sorry to tell you this but for every dollar the State of California hands out it takes a bucket load of dollars in state employee costs, software modification costs, legal analysis by political cronies, plus supervisory expenses and overhead to support state buildings.

You just included the cost of the money being given out in your fuzzy math.

Thanks for posting.

about 2.5 million unemployed... so $700 million divided by 2.5 million is $280 per person per week to send them a check.
