California Crumbles as
Paralyzed Politicos Pass Some Phony Budget: Arnold Will Veto This
Wreckage.
In a
previous alarming blog,
I postulated that the psychotic grab for loot in this containment facility for
losers would begin when the Golden State turned brown. The ‘budget’ in California is a joke. Government in California is a bigger joke. Here is the
proof.
Here is the situation starting
with the mandate to accept the current budget:
Okay, pass what?
They have
a $104.3 billion budget with a $ 15.2 billion deficit and $ $7 billion in
spending cuts.
Having
passed high school in that state I am at a loss to see what the problem is. In
a progressive society, this amounts to only a $ 7.2 billion dollar deficit and the
unreasonable and antisocial law that prevents the state from deviating from a
balanced budget with no more barrowing is trivial.
The facts from a nonbiased source:
“Jean Ross, executive director of the nonpartisan California Budget Project,
said the compromise budget "fails to acknowledge that our tax system
doesn't bring in the revenues to pay for the services that voters want." She added, though, that Gov. Schwarzenegger's requests for
future reforms are misdirected.
"He's looking for changes that would
permanently ratchet down investments in public services," she said.”
Notice a
few things here from the nonpartisan mumblings:
There cannot be any reduction in public service.
Well, there you have it! Cuts are
not allowed! The passed budget must have required Republican votes to pass and
this number must include at least 6
Assembly Republican votes.”
But, how did it pass? Did a Republican or two ‘cross over’ the aisle?
Do we have a roll call on this?
The obvious solution to the
problem, federal funds, has been omitted from this psychotic blather. When will
they pander to politicians from other states to satisfy their addictions to
money, fun in the sun, sloth, drugs and San Francisco-style ways of living?
The other way, the favorite of
Paul Krugman, would be to simply raise taxes! Why not raise income and sales
taxes?? Tax hikes lead to prosperity.
I cannot wait until they stumble
upon the obvious solution to their problems.
[All they
have is your money and they need more than you have. Think about that.]
They need
to take some more drugs and consider a healthy tax increase. Heck, the t ax
rate in Sweden is 70% and they live in splendor!
Tax California into Prosperity!
