CA Declares State of Fiscal Emergency...

Ok, I think I know what part of that you have a problem with, and I think I understand why...but do tell me, as I think I may have an answer (or, I could be completely wrong).

Someone needs to take a close freaking look at all the programs that pay out stupid amounts of money in that state and all the money that gets spent on legislation.

People in CA want that shit? Make 'em pay for it.

One example of this crap is illegals recieving 300 bucks a month for every kid from the county based upon some min. income level. They didn't have to prove citizenship or have a SS number for either the father or mother. So...they would have 7 kids and pack them in a 1 or 2 bed apartment. Then the father would work under the table and pay -0- taxes on the welfare and zero taxes on the money under the table. I couldn't believe that the counties would pay for this over and over and over again.

I don't even wanna get into the abused food stamps.

When you keep giving to these people, you keep getting their vote. And the cycle continues.....a liberal legislation and govenor.

Well, the Hollywood types seem to be very much in favor of higher taxes for the wealthy... Why not a 25% increase on any income over $2mil or something?

You know, the Republicans spend my fucking grandchildren's money (MANY Billions) on totally invented wars against countries that never attacked us, and then they whine about paying mere pennies (by comparison) to Mexicans and Blacks on public assistance - it's just a ploy, a misdirection, (it's racist) and it's old.

Also, there's more white people on assistance, if I'm not mistaken, so the Republicans can put away their white pointy hats, and give that fucking tune a rest anyway.

The Republican strategy is blame the poor.

Not really a surprise when you're the party of the rich (and the stupid poor who think the Republicans care about abortion and gays, and Jeebus).

So Republicans are responsible for California's money issues?

Obama spent 3x in 2 years than what Bush spent in 8. Seriously quit being stupid. But...they are both to blame...but not in CA.

I said I didn't really know the politics of the state, were you here for that part?

Anyway, I have no worldly fucking idea, however, I know the track record...that said, I still suspect that California's problems are multi-faceted and there's probably no one group, person, entity, or political party you could ascribe primary blame to...but again, I'm not a scholar of their politics.

You seem to blame the Republicans for everything under the sun, but when it comes to a state that's been run by Democrats for the past 40 years it's "California's problems are multi-faceted and there's probably no one group, person, entity, or political party you could ascribe primary blame to..."

Interesting.

CA's problems are fairly simple. The problem is that people do not want to budge, nor do we want to pay more taxes.

1. Quit paying for social programs forever. It doesn't work.
2. Align retirement programs with the private sector.
3. Quit paying for illegal programs unless they are paying their fair share in taxes.
4. Balance the fucking budget. If you don't have it, people don't get it. Simple as that.

There simple.
