. . . And the money comes from where?

A money tree, where else? /sarc.

The money came from Biden's last two stimulus plans. California received billions to cover its accumulated debt,
and make solvent its tottering employee retirement plan.

From me! I want a refund of my taxes. It's going to causes I don't approve of. Taxation without representation. If they're not spending it on fixing infrastructure then it needs to be returned to me. After they do a giveaway of the surplus budget, they'll be demanding a tax increase next year for "unforeseen" needs. Scoundrels!

California has an imaginary “budget surplus”.
