The programs state government and court will cease to fund, but state government and courts will demand local governments continue to fund.
Brown said the state will direct funding to local agencies to pay for any program shifts.

Then he won't achieve any budget cuts for those services.
What makes Jerry brilliant is he knows how to balance a budget and is not afraid of who has to go, to make that happen. He also is logical, as the excerpt below shows.
Perhaps this is the reason why the public holds the state government in such low esteem. And that's a profound problem, not just for those of us who are elected, but for our whole system of self-government. Without the trust of the people, politics degenerates into mere spectacle; and democracy declines, leaving demagoguery and cynicism to fill the void.
The year ahead will demand courage and sacrifice. The budget I propose will assume that each of us who are elected to do the people's business will rise above ideology and partisan interest and find what is required for the good of California. There is no other way forward. In this crisis, we simply have to learn to work together as Californians first, members of a political party second.
In seeking the Office of Governor, I said I would be guided by three principles.
First, speak the truth. No more smoke and mirrors on the budget. No empty promises.
Second, no new taxes unless the people vote for them.
Third, return--as much as possible--decisions and authority to cities, counties and schools, closer to the people.

Why don't you give him a Nobel while you are giving him credit for doing things he has not yet done? The budget proposal he put forth has not passed, and more people are coming out against it every day. I am willing to bet you that Jerry will end up crying into his wheatgrass while watching the legislature argue about what to cut, and where to raise taxes.
Another interesting snag, the genius that you think deserves to be president has so misunderstood the law in California that the budget he proposed needs a 2/3 majority to pass because he wants to pass the spending cuts separately from the budget.
Gov. Jerry Brown's budget may hit legal roadblock
If he is really the Democrats best hope it might explain why they got shellacked last year, and why California is a fiscal cesspool.
And Jerry has a track record, so why are you afraid to discuss it?? Oh! Here is part of that answer for a clueless dupe like yourself............
I never said he was. He was just the best choice left after republicans voted for him in the primaries. Now can we talk about your thighs? I mean about Jerry Brown as the Democrat President? Someone who has more balls that the entire rightwing of dummies?
George W. Bush was born in 1946 and Jerry Brown was born in 1938.
We are talking about the ol man Bush born in 1924. The one who actually served in the military.
The cess pool was the Arnie the destroyer. Thank you republicans! You thought another movie star would make Cal shine!!
Following law school, Brown worked as a law clerk at the California Supreme Court, traveled and studied in Mexico and Latin America and then took up residence in Los Angeles, working for the prestigious law firm, Tuttle & Taylor. In 1969, Brown was elected to the Los Angeles Community College Board of Trustees, placing first in a field of 124. In 1970, he was elected California Secretary of State.
Brown was elected Governor in 1974 and reelected in 1978, by a margin of 21%.
During Governor Brown's tenure, California created 1.9 million new jobs, almost double the national rate. During his eight years in office, Brown marshaled both Democrats and Republicans in the legislature to slow the growth of state government, eliminate capital gains taxes for many small businesses, abolish the business inventory tax, index personal income taxes, adopt the nation's first energy efficiency standards, and make California the leader in co-generation, solar and wind energy.
As governor, Brown consistently had budgets approved on time and built a prudent budget surplus to serve as a "rainy day fund". He reduced the number of state employees per 1,000 Californians from 9.6 in 1975 to 9.2 in 1982. The tax burden for California residents declined from $6.90 per $100 of income in 1975 to $6.72 in 1982.
Now that I have shamed any rightwing politican, why don't you carry on and tell us why Jerry Brown is not the perfect president for America. You see you fucked up having republicans vote for Obama in the primary instead of the Clinton Team with a economic track record, and now you would be willing to do it again if Jerry ran, wouldn't you? Yes, you would.............
People finally understanding that Soros won't give Obama a shot at a second term, he know he has given Palin far too much ammunition to demolish him in any debate

What?
So are you saying the obama isnt the "one" for the dems after all?

I see that you remain as utterly stupid as you almost always are.
Aside from some of the racist shit you've spewed, you never seem to have much of anything to say.
But, still, you DID start this clusterfuck of a mindless thread.
And it is worthy of nothing but derisive laughter.
Replacing the failed Obama Administration with a President Moonbeam?
You guys would have to be even more out of your collective fucking mindless heads -- than ever before -- to even consider such stupidity.
Incredible.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

She would have been a good choice for fixing the budget.
