Just as reckless with money as his aunt Nancy
Dear God, give them bankruptcy.
SF City Council:
“Lets hire homeless to clean up the poop...that should save us 3M/year”
“More homeless come to SF for the $ and then they leave even more poop”
“We need more homeless to clean up the poop”

From a $90 billion surplus to a $68 billion deficit in two years.
Doesn’t matter. The feds will bail them out. The lunatics in CA can continue on with their wokeness.
Didn’t Calif have a budget surplus just a short time ago????
I think CA has been operating on the “too big to fail” policy for quite a while. Legislating and committing to financial obligations it can’t possibly meet. All with the goal of holding itself hostage to the fed for a ransom bailout. Too big to fail, too big and important for shipping, growing, etc. And leftists in charge of the fed will oblige if they’re in power.
You can’t even trust the meanings of the words they use.
C’mon man—go after Hunter now—at least a million in state income tax to be found there....
I predict gas taxes and vehicle registration will sky rocket.
Too bad they can’t lay off employees.
Every 4000 employees choped would be $1 billion
But, first responder services will take the hit and CHP will be pulling everyone over left and right writing “revenue tickets”
Pretty soon the words for Twelve Thirty (Young Girls Are Coming to the Canyon) will be changed from I used to live in Studio City Everything there was dark and dirty.
“reduce funding for schools and community colleges”
That is ALWAYS the FIRST choice of government scoundrels. If they were serious, they would:
1. Cut all financial support for illegals to ZERO. (that alone would nearly close that budget gap and leave schools alone)
2. Stop construction on the stupid choo-choo
3. Get tough on crime. That would stop the hemorrhaging of businesses and people.
4. End all “green” energy programs and build lots of natural gas fired combined cycle power plants. That would at least stabilize energy prices and provide a predictable energy future so businesses could plan. At best, it would bring energy prices down.
That program would fix the budget mess in less than a year.
Gee, I wonder where the state income tax income went?? Could it be it left with those who were earning it?? Could it be they found somewhere cheaper to live. Could it be they found areas where their way of life was similar to their beliefs.

I think deficit spending by individual states is paid off by money granted from the Federal Government. That payment happens with a state says it’s unable to pay for the spending.
That money from the Federal Government is borrowed by the Federal Government with no collateral requirement. States can’t do that; therefor the gimmick of getting the money from the Federal Government is employed.
This Federal deficit spending is the cause of inflation, which is effectively a tax increase on ordinary people.
So reckless spending goes without the need to explain how it will be paid for, but we ordinary people do pay for it.
California budget deficit $68 billion
Florida budget surplus $16 billion
No sweat...just raise taxes. Easy solution.
What do you want to bet that someday a liberal Democrat will declare that “they have no choice” but to turn to our enemies (Chinese communists, or Muslim oil state, etc.) for a bail-out?
It goes without saying perhaps, but, Democrats are completely in charge in Sacramento. There is no way they can blame any of these problems on Republicans.
