California Voters Reject Phony
Budget Scams.
Abstract: California is finished as a
society at least in economic and financial terms. There is ample room for
higher levels of drug addiction and insanity. The voters have delayed the
financial implosion of their state as the ‘budget solutions’ from their
drug-crazed and insane legislators will only raise the debt liability as the
years go on. There is no limit to the spending that the leftists can legislate
unless the state goes bankrupt and these greedy unions are stomped and neutered
by a bankruptcy judge. The in-the-Marxist-tank press merely blames Arnold.
We all know that California is finished as a society at least
in economic terms.
The Sacramento Parasites can do nothing other than spend wildly on such
esoteric nostrums as their versions of ‘education’ that rank somewhere near the
bottom of the upper 48. They import poverty at 10 billion a year in spending so
as to stuff their ballot boxes and gain power and expect the rest of the US citizens to subsidize their
hallucinatory society. They are a disgrace and the world needs to see them
crash in a financial maelstrom and take lessons on simple arithmetic—something
that must not be taught in their school systems any more. Socially and morally,
they are worse than bankrupt.
California is now a containment facility for
degenerates.
So, the
voters were given some choices and what did we learn? They don’t like the
socialist parasites that have their oily snouts sunk deep into the public
trough. The voters rejected these phony psychotic lunges for more and more
money from anywhere and particularly from the future. They have no concept of
debt. If you smoke enough Mary Jane the debt seems to become somewhat less of a
problem.
Let us listen to some whines:
“LOS ANGELES — A smattering of California voters on Tuesday
soundly rejected five ballot measures designed to keep the state solvent through the rest of the year.”--
Calif. Voters Reject Measures to Keep State Solvent New York Times b y By
Jennifer Steinhauer Published: May 20, 2009
[Emphasis is mine in all quotes.]
We are
firstly alerted to the salient leftist fact that ‘the people’ did not
endorse this outrage thus the courts must address this and conjure up some
‘justice’ and perhaps redress the sins of the past. The illegal aliens must not
have made it to the ballot boxes in sufficient numbers. Such a tragedy. None of this would have made this ‘state’ solvent
and the deficit will ascend arithmetically the rest of this summer. There is no
way to stop it without massive spending cuts.
“The measures, which would have prolonged tax increases, capped state spending, earmarked money for education and involved the state in a complex borrowing scheme
against its lottery, were rejected by roughly 60 percent of those who voted. The failure of the measures, combined with falling
revenues since the state passed its budget, leaves California with a $21 billion
new hole to fill, while foreclosure rates and unemployment remain vexing problems here.”-- Jennifer Steinhauer
A bright spot in the latrine:
“The one measure to pass,
which would prevent legislators and statewide constitutional officers,
including the governor, from receiving pay rises in years when the state is
running a deficit, was approved by more than 75 percent of those who cast ballots, demonstrating the overwhelming disgust many Californians
say in polls that they feel toward elected officials in a time of deep budget
paralysis.”-- Jennifer
Steinhauer
I wonder
if the voters are awake. They voted for ‘change’ and now O’Bozo has spent or
committed more money to be squandered than all the presidents that came before
him. This is insanity and the voters will be penniless unless they wake up and
vote every maggot out of office and then set up hearings for criminal conduct. California is the first place to start this
purification process.
““We face a staggering $21.3 billion deficit and in order to prevent a
fiscal disaster, Democrats and Republicans must collaborate and work together
to address this shortfall,” said Governor Schwarzenegger. “The longer we wait the worse the problem
becomes and the more limited our choices will be.”—Arnold Schwarzenegger quoted in the NYT article cited above.
These fools faced a 42 billion dollar deficit
last round. And we thought this would be the end of it??
This is
an example of ‘news:’
“LOS
ANGELES (AP) — Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger wanted to permanently fix California's "broken budget
system." But three times now he has tried and failed to smooth out the
state's roller coaster revenues.”[4]-- Schwarzenegger's 3rd budget reform attempt flops by AP writer Juliet Williams
Arnold has no power over the legislature. He has no power over the
“propositions” that appear on the ballot boxes from time to time.
Now, we can
read the LA Times [LATrines] so we can know who the real culprit might be:
“By
rejecting five budget measures, Californians also brought into stark relief the
fact that they, too, share blame for the political dysfunction that has brought
California to the brink of insolvency.”-- California voters exercise their
power -- and that's the problem. Residents relish their role in the lawmaking process, but
they share
the blame for the
state's severe dysfunction.” By Michael
Finnegan May 20, 2009
After
filtering off the leftist drool from the pages here, we must note that in a
democracy the voters have done poorly and that while they voted to stop the
madness and eternal spending that could sink the state in debt for decades
their votes must have made the situation worse! Where are the teacher’s unions
and other groups here? They have no responsibility here for wild spending and
ecological and financial lunacy?
Here is more:
“The results Tuesday fit Californians'
long-standing pattern of demanding what is ultimately irreconcilable, all the
more so in an economic downturn: lower taxes and higher spending.”-- Michael
Finnegan
The
voters are to blame for the sorry state of the schools? Well, the ‘unified’ LA
School System is the joke of the Western Hemisphere in the way that they
‘teach’ their ‘students’ all sorts of Marxist camel plop and other pro-drug EcoNazi
Lysenko-styled dogma not to forget to mention the most essential
component to California’s future: gay marriage. How about a ballot initiative
that would cut the number of state government employees in half? Would that
pass? How about an initiative that would cut legislator’s salaries, benefits and retirement 20% for each year they
cannot secure a balanced budget. I think that would pass. California has too many state workers with
astronomical salaries and benefits such as free sex-change operations in some
places and everybody knows this.
The recurring ‘problem’ is Prop 13
that emasculated the legislature and prevented them from being wanton tax
whores:
“In the Proposition 13 tax rebellion of 1978, Californians voted to require a two-thirds approval by the Legislature to raise taxes, a major obstacle to
budget agreements. Over the last couple of decades, voters have also passed a
patchwork of ballot measures directing billions of dollars to favorite causes,
among them public schools and transportation projects”-- Michael Finnegan
Measures such as this
might have prevented that idiot Obama from spending 12 trillion dollars in the
federal system if the rest of us had one was in place. How about a balanced budget amendment? We need
a national tax rebellion.
California is fast becoming the Needle Park of the Left Coast and will be difficult to expel
from the union. It will just become worse so we wonder if many in the legislature
in Sacramento are doing too few drugs. Why not
just pass out crack pipes during legislative sessions in Sacramento?
This is hopeless. Move
out!
