Social services programs such as supplemental income for elderly and disabled Californians, welfare and the earned income tax credit will be untouched, Newsom emphasized. That includes the recent expansion of health coverage to low-income undocumented immigrants of all ages.

“I just think that’s foundational,” Newsom said. “It’s something I believe in. It’s a core of, I think, who we are as a state.”


Cut programs for citizens, raise taxes, raise fees but keep free health care for illegals.

Cuts won’t help; this clown has forced the big money to leave the State or relocate their liquid assets to another State or Country.

Election year chicanery. Don’t look for any movement on this after November.

Watch as his Dem super majority legislature “ignores” Gruesome and sends him a budget loaded with spending and tax increases. Then, he will complain and make some minor cuts in the spending but the tax increases will remain. This guy is a lying sack of you know what. He makes the former governor, Gray Davis, who was recalled look like a super star.

Yup more smoke and mirrors from Noisome and the democrats, they will never change, they shuffle money around, rob the gas taxes and spend on their socialist schemes like drunken sailors. Too bad for Noisome that Auntie Nan no longer has the power to rob the other states and send money to Noisome.

He’s running for president in 2028. It’s quite obvious. Of course, both sides will probably have a historic number of candidates. 20-25 minimum.

Keep free health care for illegals.

Indeed they are hitting the hospitals like a free lunch program not many things Biden missed doing his replacement agenda.

Wonder if before Newsom said No New Taxes he said “read my lips.”💋

Time Magazine, October 22, 1990 article on President George H. W. Bush making light of his earlier “lips” statement:

“Asked to clarify his position as he jogged in a St. Petersburg baseball park, Bush pointed to his backside and gibed, “Read my hips.” “

Good point.

How much of a taxpayer’s payment was divided into paying for the welfare and later defense costs of Jose Inez Garcia-Zarate, the illegal alien who shot and killed Kate Steinle?
He eventually got off* except for having a firearm illegally.

The 45 year old Mexican man had been deported 5 times before the shooting. He said he deliberately chose San Francisco because it is a sanctuary city and he would be safe there.

*On August 30, 2019, a California state Court of Appeals court overturned Garcia-Zarate’s conviction based on the failure of the state trial court to instruct the jury on the state’s affirmative defense of momentary possession.

Gavin Newsom proposes a mix of spending cuts and using reserves to balance the state budget. He says that core services will be largely untouched, but some existing programs would be affected.

Here we go...watch my right hand only...don't pay any attention to what my left hand's doing.

For a start, the jerk should seal his border against illegals and let ICE deport them. A few other easy remedies:

Law enforcement

Reopen Alcatraz prison

Open up all drilling

Eliminate 90% of the choking, anti-business regulations

Cancel choo-choo funding

Exactly. Suddenly, tax increases will be on the table.

Alcatraz isn’t actually inhabitable - not only are the buildings unsafe, but IIRC the island itself is not stable either.

However... there are other islands off the coast in which a prison could be built (cheaper than fixing Alcatraz) and California has plenty of desert in which to put a new prison or twelve.
