The state of Ca. is run by a bunch of liberal democrats...some ultra liberal...especially in the Bay area. They have been spending for years....the state income tax is one of the 2 highest in the nation...just how much more can the state tax its people? There comes a time where you just say we can't afford it right now. The dems just haven't reached that point. They are a very progressive state, but "progressive" is a very costly word. It no longer is a business friendly state, and businesses are moving out along with savy people...me being one.Yeah, that's fiscally conservative. $21 Billion dollar bill coming due, but lets not pay it.
Sound fiscal policies wouldn't have put them in the position. Seems the voters are starting to realize that. Time to cut spending, eh?
How about you provide a line by line of the CA state budget on what you'd propose to cut. I'm sure we could find some agreement, but I doubt it'll total $21B.
The state unions are very powerful and are very demanding..but, the democratic politicians are in there back pocket. This mess is going to take a decade to solve, if they start tomorrow...but that ain't going to happen. There will need to be cuts across the board....for the most part. Make no mistake this is a very blue state, and that's not going to change anytime soon. The libs got them into this mess, and they aren't smart enough to do the right thing to get them out of this mess. There is no excuse for the democrats in the state of California
