The governor who vowed to cut up the state’s credit card has been instrumental in tripling its outstanding debt—so badly damaging California’s creditworthiness that for a time it was neck and neck with Kazakhstan’s. Before Schwarzenegger took office, the UC and Cal State systems were stressed but could still fulfill the dream of an affordable quality education for every Californian. In-state tuition at Cal State campuses has risen from $1,428 per year to $4,230 during his tenure, while UC undergrads have gone from paying less than $3,900 to $12,150. Both systems are offering a diminished college experience, with fewer class choices, fewer professors, and fewer athletic programs.
To balance a chronically out-of-whack budget, Schwarzenegger began tearing at the state’s social safety net. With his line-item-veto pen he cut billions of dollars allocated for AIDS prevention, battered women’s services, health care for poor kids, drug treatment for pregnant women, and rental subsidies for struggling seniors. As a prelude to signing the 2010-’11 budget, the last of his tenure, Schwarzenegger eliminated $256 million in child care for low-paid workers recently off welfare, $80 million for investigations into child abuse and neglect, and $133 million in mental health services for special ed students.
The Man Who Tried to Make California Great Again
No wonder they have so many homeless in CA. Also Proposistion 13, and the Pubs told the public that cutting property taxes would lower the rents, guess what it never did. Taxes are not really higher in CA, except for the cost of living, rent and perhaps state income tax which is progressive there. The more you make the more you pay, sounds about right. L. Ingraham who is obsessed with the Clintons and Democrats, blamed the homelessness on Democrats, she had Clintons accusers on her show Fri , but not Trumps accusers, just shows that she belongs on fox, such a bias station.
