Wow - I knew it was bad, but not THIS BAD. Can you believe those hypocrites are saying there's nowhere to cut spending. This is OUR money those b#*^-&#s are wasting. Let's start by cutting 90% and trim some more.

Dude, did you read yer list?! If the California Republican Caucus is being funded by tax dollars ... well ... then ... something will have to be done!

Somebody's havin' ya on.

Mike ... read the list. Do you want to close West Point? The Veterans' Benefits Administration? The U.S. Border Patrol?

I mean, as first glance the California Asian Pacific Island Legislative Caucus may look bad, but actually all that is is the name our our legislators of Asian Pacific Island-type heritage have taken for themselves. We'll have to find out if there is any designated staff involved, but I doubt it. I'm sure that their regular assistants book their meetings.

As I said to Jack, somebody's havin' ya on.

That's quite a list. Howevere, a lot of the boards you list are self-funding. Programs like the Employment Training Panel are funded through a special collection and not part of the General Fund. We voters have approved all of this happening over the past few years.. Now instead of one state-wide budget, we actually have 500 micro-budgets.

"a lot of the boards you list are self-funding."

Hmmm...where do these "self-funds" come from? Surely not those who sit on the boards!

Transportation Department funds come from related sources, things like gasoline taxes. (Often these funds are "temporarily" used for other things.) The money still comes from our pockets and is hugely unaccounted for...as you so rightly point out, in 500 micro-budgets.

Folks, California is not a state, it's a rich country. Richer than all by 7 other countries in the world -- 12% of all Americans live in California.

37 million people living in the 7th richest economy in the world. *Of course* we have lots of agencies doing lots of different things, nuanced things. That's what advanced countries do. You'd be happier with a list that was 20 agencies long and a country full of poor farmers?

Wake up. We need to raise taxes and expand the social net and behave like what we are: An amazing state with a stunningly diverse population and economy, a rich state, one that dedicates resources (money) to many things and reaps the benefits of those things.

Let's wise up and raise taxes the pittance it would take to make this problem go away -- I estimate $95 a month more from each working adult and problem solved. ($27 billion deficit divided by 26 million working adults.)

*Folks, California is not a state, it's a rich country.*


If it is it's a country gone broke country. It's extremely disfunctional and mismanaged! The "wealth" is in it's resources and they aren't managed well...water not getting to farmers...oil off shore that we aren't allowed to go get. It's wealth is in it's innovators and investors...people being targeted and punished with high taxes and regulation that kills wealth building and tax revenue...how stupid is that?

**Of course* we have lots of agencies doing lots of different things, nuanced things. That's what advanced countries do.*

Not free countries that hope to remain successful. Some of those things are unnecessary things that cost money and deliver a poor productor none at all. These are things that could be done better by the private sector and would wither on the vine when found to be unnecessary...when government does it we are stuck with it whether it's needed and wanted or not.

You'd be happier with a list that was 20 agencies long and a country full of poor farmers?

What a stupid notion. You are saying that government is responsible for the intellegence, inventiveness and urge of all human beings...without government people can only be poor (were you thinking dumb?) farmers.

*a rich state, one that dedicates resources (money) to many things and reaps the benefits of those things.*

When did human beings in America (or California) become "the state" to you? Pull your Marxist little head out, fella...riches and resources come from people working within a free market.

*Let's wise up and raise taxes the pittance it would take to make this problem go away -- I estimate $95 a month more from each working adult and problem solved.*

A lot of those workers don't have $95 to spare...many more have been taxed enough and are sick of being asked to fork over more when the state has performed so badly and has zero accountability. And what to do about all the unsustainable policies and programs that will continue to create deficits in future years? We have raised taxes in the past and the problem continues to get worse...obviously the problem hasn't been a revenue problem. It has been a fiduciary problem, an accountability problem. Our representatives have played a game of BIG important government with little regard or care about whether or not what they do works to maintain or improve the health, viability and well-being of "the state" or her citizens.
