They could easily balance their budget if they legalized and taxed their largest cash crop.
California, the favorite whipping boy for some Nutter's, is showing how to move from billions in deficit spending to a balanced budget with the prospect of surpluses in the near future. And that in just 2 years.
How did Gov. Brown and the Democrat-controlled legislature do it so fast? Spending cuts, higher taxes and an improved economy, a three-pronged attack on the deficit. Unlike the mantra of the right which advocates only cuts in spending, the Governor and the Legislature realized it takes much more than that to produce a healthy economy and budget.
Can California be a template for Washington? Not so long as the Nutter's in the House cling to their Grover Norquist pledge.

Let me ask you a question, Oldguy and don't take it the wrong way! When you listen to Obama is that man smart and I don't want to call some other Presidents dumb? I think Clinton was the smartest modern President and I grew up since Truman. Nixon isn't far behind, but how smart is Obama? Obama definitely has a better personality, but it's hard to tell how smart they are.
I'm just asking your opinion.
Last I checked the House did in fact approve new taxes.
Care to tell us where the cuts are?
If only Brown were in the White House instead of the ideologue there today
“We have to live within the means we have; otherwise we get to that situation where you get red ink and you go back to cuts,” he said. “I want to avoid the booms and the bust, the borrow and the spend, where we make the promise and then we take back.” -- Jerry Brown, grown up

Bless the Governor's heart!
I live in California.
The deficit is not gone.
Unemployment is at 9.8%
Police and Fire are cut to the bone with more layoffs in the future.
UNFUNDED liabilities, the white elephant in the room, are not funded.
Even the Kings are looking to be bought!
I think Dear Jerry is smoking again.

The Democratic governor says the general fund deficit has mushroomed from $9.2 billion to $15.7 billion. Most of the widening gap comes from acknowledging that his previous forecast was too optimistic, a concern that economists voiced last summer.

I'll answer that.
Absolutely. President Obama is very, very smart. There is no question about it.

I hope they are on the right track and their massive budget problems are behind them. However, a look at history should lead one to question their current projections:

I would be somewhat cautious in accepting this new projection based upon the outcome of past forecasts that fell dramatically short. Only time will tell.
007,
Ae you aware of how you are viewed by people here? I wonder.
So, although the old brown hippie says he's proposed cuts to the budget, and you think that it's the right track, you don't think republicans in Washington would go along with that when cuts is what they have wanted all along?California, the favorite whipping boy for some Nutter's, is showing how to move from billions in deficit spending to a balanced budget with the prospect of surpluses in the near future.

Yes, one should always be cautious of any future projections because nobody knows what the future holds and the motivation for spin is apparent.
But, I still think they are on the right track and that it's a track Washington is not following, and won't follow so long as the GOP clings to its ideological position in the face of reality.
And, frankly, I'm genuinely surprised that the former "Governor Moonbeam" could be this pragmatic. When the voters of California re-elected him again, many years after his previous term, I thought, "Oh, boy. I can't believe they fell for that lunatic again."
I might have been wrong.
Why can't Obama be a grown up like Jerry Brown?
You need some more seniority here cherry, before anything you say carries any weight.007,
Ae you aware of how you are viewed by people here? I wonder.
I do believe your board name "Lone"laugher, is for a reason.
Try some introspect. You need it.
That offer I made you of $3.37 for a new English tutor for you still stands, Susie.

In the meantime, continue to suck obama's dick. You seem good at that.

Jerry Brown SAID he PROPOSED cuts. He really never said anything of the kind and the imaginary proposed cuts never became real cuts.
