Governor Jerry Brown and state Democratic lawmakers announced Monday they have reached a deal on a budget that would not require tax extensions to bridge the state's $9.6 billion deficit. The plan relies on an anticipated $4 billion in additional revenue and will trigger deep cuts to many programs if that revenue drops below $3 billion. "Going forward, we expect more revenues in the budget year coming up. But in case we're over-optimistic, we have severe trigger cuts that will be triggers and will go into effect. Those are real," Brown said at a news conference Monday afternoon. snip He called the plan "the most austere fiscal blueprint California has seen in more than a generation." Steinberg said, "The budget implements more than 12 billion in harsh, real cuts, in addition to the possibility of an additional 2.6 billion dollars in cuts as part of the trigger." In a statement, Senate Republican leader Bob Dutton (R-Rancho Cucamonga) criticized the Democrats plan. He said, "Californians deserve better than the ‘Hope without Change' budget the Democrats announced today. This latest budget is based on the hope that $4 billion in new revenues will miraculously materialize, but does absolutely nothing to change government as usual." snip Because the Legislature did not approve a sales tax extension, the state's sales tax will drop by 1% on July 1.

It is our responsibility to protect that child once that child’s born too. When we start debating a budget, let’s make sure we don’t cut 100,000 vaccines. Let’s make sure we’ve got health insurance. We seem to worship what we cannot see, but as soon as that baby’s born, oh no, we don’t want to be intrusive. Texas is going to shrink government until it fits inside a women’s uterus. Senator Leticia Van de Putte
It's absolutely insane...and now that NJ Governor Christie has screwed the middle class into concessions but is about to veto a tax on millionaires the lines have been clearly drawn...

Yay!
The middle class is too busy fighting amongst themselves for scraps from the table to notice.

Sure makes a difference in my life - not.

DMV fees did in Greyout Davis, when is the recall election? Hope & Change.... Tom McClintock for California governor!
Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.
Yet Arnold increased them by another third to one half.
Bull. Barely winning re-election did in Gray Davis and Darrell Issa, hoping to replace Davis, spent a ton of his own money on the recall.

It was ENRON that did in Grey Davis.

Like Brown, Davis was only seeking to extend an existing tax due to expiire, not create a new one.

A few years ago when Kentucky had some sort of budget crisis, they raised fees on multiple items. I know the thoroughbred owner license went from $100 a year to $150 - not a lot of money but a 50 per cent increase was a screw job IMO. A Pubbie was governor at the time.
Thank God somebody does.
Proxy IP's are amusing.....lmao
Really? Thats odd, cause they found plenty of time to give the GOP a historic mid term landslide last November....

In collusion with El Paso Oil which is probably Hondo's employer. Those intentional rolling brownouts caused by a 'forest fire' but in reality the trigger to cut supply and raise prices.
Doesn't seem to apply to Republican administrations however. Schwarzenegger campaigned on not extending the "car tax" but look what he did. The budget raises the state sales-tax rate to 8.25 percent from 7.25 percent and boosts vehicle license fees to 1.15 percent from 0.65 percent of the value of an automobile. The package doesn’t contain a gasoline-tax increase that was included in previous versions. The plan also adds 0.25 percentage point to all personal income tax brackets for two years, so that a resident currently taxed at 8 percent will face an 8.25 percent levy. www.bloomberg.com/apps/ne...sarchive&sid=aLQN_7PifIug The above taxes, created by Republicans, are what Brown wanted to extend.

Then there was all that unscheduled maintenance that necessitated taking plants off line.

Yep, he was a girlie man politically, as we on the Right noted long before you on the Left realized it.

Yeah - what's your point?

That they apparently aren't as 'busy' as you claimed up above, goofy. You really need to learn how to follow a conversation on these threads. It would save both time and bandwidth.

The point is that Schwarzenegger couldn't have raised taxes without Republican votes - not his sex life (that's "ladies man" BTW)

Unintended pun?

Jerry Brown vetoed the smoke and mirrors budget that the Democrat Legislature tried to pass a few weeks ago. I've always liked Jerry Brown. I don't always agree with him, but he thinks out of the box and I respect that. When he was running for President in 1992 in the Democrat primary he proposed to scrap the entire federal tax code and replace it with a flat 13% income tax and a flat 13% VAT. Had he won Democrat nomination, I wouldn't have voted for Perot. Art Laffer (yes, the Reagan "Laffer Curve" guy) designed Jerry Brown's tax program. Jerry Brown is a good guy.

They worship money which is power.
Von Mises associates any Government involvement in markets as "Socialism" , to mislead people into thinking Government is the enemy , when infact empire is the enemy and empire is Privatized.
BREAKING: New York City prosecutors have agreed to waive bail for former International Monetary Fund chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn, relying on his word that he'll continue to make court appearances in a case of alleged sexual assault, Bloomberg Television ..
Thank God. One less predator to worry about warning the kids to stay away from.
Whatever ming.

They worship money which is power. No. Power trumps money. Money is a tool to acquire power. At the Top 50 000 level money is a scorecard. Master meet slave. Ex when wishing, most all will wish for money. Asked why, the answer will vary, but come down to: "So I can get....". Cut out the Middleman. Wish for exactly what you want.
New York City prosecutors have agreed to waive bail for former International Monetary Fund chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn, relying on his word that he'll continue to make court appearances in a case of alleged sexual assault, Bloomberg Television .. The victim has nver waivered in her account of what happened. Like I said, DSK will never spend time in prison. If sentenced, he will die. Knows too much.
And you can tell exactly American Society's take on Class Strata by this case and LF's response. Now say if it was Bill Clinton? LMFAO Obama? ouch.
And just in case people don't get the implications of 'Smear the Victim' defense tactics. All too soon, the victims realize that justice will come from the victim or not at all. The Perp will be dead. And soon. And the USSA MSM will ceaselessly wonder why.
Brown said that Republicans have a "religious reluctance" to consider extending or adding taxes.
