California May Actually Be Cutting It's Budget (illegal aliens, solution, Somali)

I thought I would never see this happen... but, that's what needs to be done.

They want to keep the shutdown for more months, then they need to adjust their budget. I should not be bailing them out.

California Proposes Billions in Cuts as Revenue Plunges

California Gov. Gavin Newsom proposed $14 billion in budget cuts on Thursday because of the coronavirus, with more than half coming at the expense of public schools already struggling to educate children from afar during a pandemic.

The cuts are part of a plan to cover a $54.3 billion budget deficit caused by plummeting state revenues after a mandatory, statewide stay-at-home order forced most businesses to close and put more than 4.7 million people out of work.

On Thursday, Newsom proposed filling that hole through a combination of cuts, tax increases, canceled spending, internal borrowing and tapping the state's reserves. It also includes a 10 percent pay cut for all state workers, including the governor himself.

...
Newsom said all of those cuts could be avoided if the federal government approves a $1 trillion aid package for state and local governments.

And by "aide" he means "bailout"...

The Fed can't continue printing funny money to bail out all these states. In the end we'll end up a Weimar Republic-style institution where people are wheeling around barrels-full of dollar bills to buy a loaf of bread.

Funny that he hasn't talked about cutting back on his handouts to foreign criminals.

You give $500 to each illegal alien and you want a federal bailout? I don't think so.

How's this for a solution:

$55 Billion, and it's yours!

They need to start by making changes in the retiree pensions of public servants.

We know a school teacher receiving $105K in pension benefits yearly. There's something wrong here.

Not really. What’s the problem? That they’re getting more money than you will upon retirement?

Don’t advocate cutting someone else’s dough. That’s being a hater. Instead, you should be fighting to get your money up.

Newsome can kiss off regarding a federal bailout.
California created their own problems. Now they can fix them.

Exactly! He's essentially asking law-abiding Americans to help his state give money to illegal aliens. Furgitaboudit.
