These are ADDITIONAL programs to the regular "Section 8" housing. California has received special favor from taxpayers for years to prop up their bankrupt state government that has never seen a social handout program they didn't love and are willing to throw money at.
That a lot of bullshit spent trying to justify a rat slush fund.
“In California, millions are served by these funds....”
How many of the millions are illegals??
A look at the highest PUBLIC pensions of California's "public servants" is again in order.
State of California Pensions list -- highest firstThe State of California has been a corrupt system for years, with its super-majority Democrats ruling, and its major city and county budgets all deep in debt, while being unwilling to cut spending.
The State of California's $ 600 billion in debt rises and risesIt was hoped that a Californian Kamala Harris would write checks to cover the massive mismanagement.
She lost. The nation won.
The real value of anything is the amount of money someone is willing to pay for it.
They pulled this baloney on President Trump. They said he "overvalued" his assets.
The Nevada company made a guess that the the coloreds didn't like.
Years ago, we had a farm and were in a terrible drought. The county next to us had SIXTY DAYS of water left in their reservoir. That country was THIRTY PERCENT illegals. If there were no illegals, the Americans would have had at least THIRTY DAYS more of water.
Ca has encouraged non-Americans to suck dry all of the resources and steal all of the money and opportunities that Americans were entitled to.
The people ending up on the streets have determined their own future.
‘Millions out on the street virtually overnight’:
The problem already exists. Isn’t that a local problem? Why all the buck passing?
Most of these workers are funded by CA budget and not federal budget.
What is the salary of one Caroline Peattie?
They can never be honest. About anything.
Lest we forget - the entire state is a sanctuary for illegals. Imagine if 100% of those present illegally were deported - what kind of resources would become available.
“Millions out on the street virtually overnight”
In California, it’s more like: “Millions out on the street every night”
“The budget would slash federal homelessness funding by $532 million”
Oh, brother. California has spent $30 BILLION cumulatively on homeless and what do we have to show for it? More homeless than ever.
The numbers were analyzed this morning.
$7T spending this year.
60% of the $7T is mandatory, non discretionary. AKA Medicaid and Soc Sec. That is $4.2 leaving $2.8T discretionary. Oddly, $1.1T interest on the debt (the most mandatory of all) is not in the mandatory category, so it comes out of the $2.8T.
This leaves $1.7T. DoD is to be protected at about $900B.
This leaves $800B that is available to cut. The proposal is $150B is to come out of that. About 20%.
But some items have been designated protected. That is Dept of Veterans Affairs. Dept of Transportation. NASA. They won’t be cut.
This is why things like HUD and Dept of Interior will get slammed 30-40%.
Know the numbers or you don’t know anything.
Most US homeless are from California, New York or Washington state. So maybe those funds for California aren’t working?
