These nutters are just a bunch of whiners. Everyone knows to live here you will pay more for it. We are the leaders of the country and the world. Where California goes EVERYONE follows, always been that way and will continue to be that way. Did you see Gov. Brown on 60 minutes? He gets more respect around the world than our so-called president.

You keep telling yourself, your spouse and your kids that and you are going to reap the results
of Lying to Them !

I set the standards for my off springs intellectual development well above any " State "
standards you and your fellow Libs use and are complacent with....

Based on the way you post and the tone you set I would hope your off spring have Independent
standards and steer well clear from your scale ....

I feel kind of bad for them. Even with Trump in office, they seem so upset about this great state they live in. Waaah, too many immigrants! Waaaahhh, too many welfare recipients. Bunch of f'in crybabies. They should move to Alabama or South Dakota.

Yeah, no doubt! Wanna see what lack of tax revenue does for a state go to Alabama, Mississippi or one of those other "red states" . . . but then again, these guys "think" they would enjoy a more "rustic" life . . . until they find out the truth of it.

Making it up as they went along
 
I guess LE isn't going to come up with a source for his claim that California spends 40% of its revenue on welfare.

... and he gets on e about the Civil War thing, hypocrites to the end.

Schooling in California is akin to a " Welfare " program.....so LE is spot on !
Now what Wez....let's see you argue otherwise with the poor performance
California schools show.


Overview of the California state budget

Taxes and fees are projected to put about $82 billion into California's general fund for the fiscal year starting July 1. But at current rates, the state would spend about $22 billion more than that. The gap between revenue and spending plus the gap in the current fiscal year's budget and reserve funds adds up to the total deficit, now estimated at about $28 billion.


Closing the gap is made harder by several mandates. For example, voter-passed Proposition 98 requires that roughly 40% of all revenue go to elementary and secondary schools and community colleges. The requirement can be suspended by a two-thirds vote of the Legislature; otherwise that money is off limits to cutting. The state Constitution requires that interest on state debts, about $4 billion each year, be paid before anything else.

The federal government pays up to 80% of the cost of some health and welfare programs, but in return sets minimum levels of state payments. If the state cuts below those minimums, it loses federal money. Other federal laws require the state to spend money on everything from prisons to universities. All told, well over half of state spending is restricted in some fashion. Other big-ticket items don't have an immediate impact on the deficit. Most money for pensions for state retirees, for example, does not come out of the general fund.

The Times' choices for cutting spending, raising taxes or borrowing more money are based on proposals presented by Republicans and Democrats, the governor, members of the Legislature and outside groups. The amounts by which each would reduce the deficit come from the state Department of Finance and the state's nonpartisan legislative analyst. Some have considerable political support, others almost none.
