LOS ANGELES — The state budget shortfall in California has increased dramatically in the last six months, forcing state officials to assemble a series of new spending cuts that are likely to mean further reductions to schools, health care and other social programs already battered by nearly five years of budget retrenchment, state officials announced on Saturday.


Gov. Jerry Brown, disclosing the development in a video posted on YouTube, said that California’s shortfall was now projected to be $16 billion, up from $9.2 billion in January. Mr. Brown said that he would propose a revised budget on Monday to deal with it.

“We are now facing a $16 billion hole, not the $9 billion we thought in January,” Mr. Brown said. “This means we will have to go much further and make cuts far greater than I asked for at the beginning of the year.”

Mr. Brown disclosed the news in a video that had all the trappings of a campaign announcement. In it, he aggressively accounted for the steps he said he had taken to try to scale back a $26 billion deficit he found upon taking office. And he urged viewers to back an initiative he is putting on the November ballot that would increase sales taxes by 0.25 percent and impose an income tax surcharge on wealthy Californians to try to stave off more cuts.

I'm sure that you are right Bro.

A lifetime of dealing with these insane libTURD assholes has shown me that their ignorance is invincible.

They simply do NOT live on the same planet as normal folks do.

I know how to treat parasites.

We worm the hosts.

Then we isolate the results, we hit it with bleach, then we burn it.

They ALWAYS come back.

So we do it twice a year, no matter what.

IMO that's what AMERICA needs, a GOOD WORMING.

It will KILL those too weak from their infestations but we MUST do it.

As to your idiotic idea, there isn't "all that produce" in San Jose; in reality, there's NONE to speak of. But of course, you knew that, and were just trying to distract from the main point of Sneaky, that's it's getting REALLY BAD there.

Only idiots like you Asperger's think that everyone living in San Jose has to also work there.

An example is: Many vineyard workers live in Napa yet there are not many vineyards within the city limits.

illegal-alien-wetback scumbags

The real scumbags are those that are born here and REFUSE to work.

The reason that people hire illegal aliens to mow lawns, clean houses, and pick fruit is because blacks and white trash are too fat, dumb, and happy on the government dole to get off of their lazy asses to work and make a difference to themselves, their families, and the people around them.

I don't blame people who work hard to provide for themselves and their families.

I don't blame them at all.

It isn't "the" Los Alto Hills, it's Los Altos Hills - it's a place name, not a geographical feature. Los Altos Hills is located in the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains. Further, if I refer to mountains west of silicon valley that would mean mountains, not hills - there is a difference.

The Los Altos Hills are due WEST of the San Jose area. The Santa Cruz mountains are SSW of San Jose/Silicon Valley.

Yeah I don't think someone on welfare should be going to Vegas. And unless they lie about their income they wouldn't be able to afford something like that. TANF (cash assistance) is basically subsistence income for the woman and her children. I think all fraud should be weeded out.

Go read your map again Eric, it doesn't "the" Los Altos Hills, it says Los Altos Hills.

I asked the name of the mountains west of San Jose, and you give me the name of a town and think just because the name has "hill" in it, you've answered my question.

You are wrong about the location of the Santa Cruz Mountains:

The Santa Cruz Mountains AVA is an American Viticultural Area centered around the Santa Cruz Mountains. It includes three counties in California: Santa Clara, Santa Cruz and San Mateo. Recognized as an AVA in 1981, the Santa Cruz Mountains Appellation was among the first to be defined by its mountain topography. Wikipedia

That was a dig at me. I posted that I have Asperger's Syndrome a while back,and she immediated jumped all over me for being "retarded". I then asked her what a leftie like her was doing poking fun at someone she thinks is legally retarded (she had obviously never done any research on Asperger's ),and why she wasn't ashamed of herself for this.

I also had some fun with her by telling her that many Aspberger's people have genius-level IQ's,and asking her what it feels like to know someone she was ridiculing for being retarded is smarter than her.

Now she mostly takes these indirect potshots,

That was a bad, bad post on your part. It suggests that you didn't study your history books.

Contrary to your opinion, it is individual human thought, human imagination, human inventiveness and human spirit that leads the course of human events; we are not lagging or after the fact as you prophetically say. I hope you don't mind me stepping on your clumsy tippy-toes, but you are full of "hot-aire." I shall itemize your silly post into easily understood "mcgowanjm guffaws" for you to recognize.

mcgowanjm guffaw#0:

To look at this whole post from a Fourth Turning perspective, how does this Turning differ from the American Revolution, the Civil War, and the Great Depression? In each of those prior Turnings our Society was accessing Greater Wealth and Power. After the American Revolution, we were accessing the vast Wealth of the North American Continent and all its Resources.

Bad lead-in to your arguments, mcgowanjm. Here is why:

mcgowanjm guffaw#1:

After the American Revolution, we were accessing the vast Wealth of the North American Continent and all its Resources.

That is false. America (or the 13 colonies) were already involved with HUGE stakes of natural resources BEFORE the American Revolution. As one example: the American or Yankee Clipper Ships was built out of the NorthEast from natural timber. Those same ships were the fastest on oceanic travel and were principally purchased by Britain. In a true sense, America ensured the demise of the Spanish Armada, freeing Britain for world conquest after defeating Spain.

mcgowanjm guffaw#2:

After the Civil War, we were accessing the thermodynamic energy of Coal and beginning the Industrial Revolution.

The Great American Civil War (the war between the North and South) was circa ~1863 for some four years later. Much of the infrastructure of America was in a state of economic shock because of the war; this is true especially for the South; it was the bloodiest war that America has EVER fought.

Prior to the Civil War, the North maintained about 80% of the railways in America. The railways were an offshoot of technology from Europe built upon the pre-existing two-wheeled donkey carts from the older Roman Empire. I am not suggesting the Roman Empire created railway systems. I am suggesting the Roman Empire created roads EVERYWHERE in Europe and around the Mediteranian ocean. And, as a result, those same well-traveled paths of nearly 2000 years were used for the creation of a railway system.

America came at the right time to take advantage of that technology. Even to this day, America's railway system is inferior to Europes by ORDERS of magnitude.

Europe created the precursors of the Industrial Revolution several hundred before the America Civil War. We were just lucky in time and space when looking back to have taken advantage of the technologies that later came AND the America built upon, leading the world.

mcgowanjm guffaw#3:

After the Great Depression and WWII, we were accessing the thermodynamic energy of Oil and growing into the Information Age.

Incredible statement. The modern world of telecommunications occured with Joseph Henry. He created the electro-magnetic coil which in turn lead to the technology of morse code or telography or the telegraph. This happened even BEFOR the Civil War, my friend.

What you are referring to is the US government's research into semi-conductors after WW2 because of the earlier technological considerations about radio and telecommunications problems for weight and power consumption in wartime. The vacummum tube was invented WAYYY before the Great Depression to include my great-grandfather's video graphic tube.

mcgowanjm guffaw#4:

What is there left for us now to grow into after THIS Fourth Turning.

Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Based on your reasoning we should just join some cult and take a pill because a comet streamed by and we can't do anything about it.

mcgowanjm guffaw#5:

I put to you that we have nothing left to grow into now, and so we must as a species go into a period of shrinkage that we have not experienced since the Dark Ages and the Black Plaguei (sic). Like the original Dark Ages, I think this period will last near a Millenia, and who we are and how we come out of this at the end is anybody’s guess.

The DARK AGES were before the Black Plague; it occured during the decline to the Roman Empire, circa ~300 AD to ~1300 AD. At that time a religious monstrousity was built from the religious nutcases called "Catholics" that subjugated their own people. They were more brutal than even the Romans were. Because the "Catholics" went into decline for hundreds of years, fucking everyone to include Jews and Muslims in Jerusalem, a few folks went to China for increased trade benefits.

Marco Polo unintentionally brought back the Black Plague in about 1300. This disease destroyed about 60% of Europe's population base. More than that, the Black Plague stopped the silly Crusades and destroed the power of the Holy Roman Empire's Pope.

This human blight created an all-new way viewing the world in the Renaissance period, circa ~1350.

As a recommendation, please re-think your own posts. You can research everything I have discussed. But, one FACT remains: you don't know what you have talked about.

I asked the name of the mountains west of San Jose,

There are NO mountains WEST of San Jose. The Los Altos Hills are as close as it gets. After that, it's the fucking PACIFIC OCEAN.

JEEZ, you are fucking THICK.

Oh, and the pic you posted, shows... the LOS ALTOS HILLS.

THANK YOU for proving my point.

As to posting links from wiki, I've been there, lived in the area from 1992 until 2007. It'd be the same as posting a pic of a '68 Camaro, and then use wiki to tell me ALL about it... when I'm building one in my garage!

It's been said that only boring people get bored.

It's been said [by you] that you're PROUD to be ignorant.

It's been said [by almost everyone on this forum] that you're a STOOOPID bitch.

It's been said [by me] that you're a worthless cunt.

The fact is, you think you can debate with me (or anyone else on this forum), just by virtue of the fact that you can punch the letters on a keyboard. You think wrong.

The reality is that you're an idiot, and you brag about your ignorance with every fucking post you make. You constantly attempt to discuss things like macroeconomics, when it is obvious you have NO clue about the subject. Ohhh, you try to use the dumbed-down expressions of other so-called experts, but at the end of the day, you just a stupid bitch, who mouths the empty platitudes of the MSM-propaganda.

Question:Why would ANYBODY take you seriously?
Answer: NOBODY who knows shit from shinola takes you seriously.

Red has bad political associations, green isn't any better. Purple, that's gay isn't it? In fact all the colors of the rainbow are kinda gay. Brown is a real possibility.

Does it REALLY matter whether the boot on the back of your neck is the right one or the left?

Are you REALLY that fucking stupid?

Look at Greece... Spain, Italy, France... you think the fact that those countries are collapsing is a RIGHT-WING conspiracy?

Are you REALLY that fucking stupid?

It's called an ECONOMIC COLLAPSE.

It doesn't matter if you consider yourself a socialist, communist or anarchist, we're ALL going to suffer.

Grow up, you putz.

The money just isn't there and we will reach the point where we can't borrow it anymore...

We're already there. The Chinese quit buying our debt late last year, and are quietly liquidating the T-bills they do have... They're selling it for whatever they can, and are buying gold.

Of course, you'll not hear this in the MSM, because then people might start asking questions that the elitists would prefer not to answer.

The collapse is occurring right now.

That will be the day the Second American Revolution starts.

I think most of the sheep (like Newsjunky, loonyMing, rat-boy, et.al) will do whatever they're told... until they're forced to board the trains for the FEMA camps. Like the Jews, they're conditioned to accept tyranny, all in the name of the [nonexistant] "War on Terror."

Those that are awake, will fight. One need only look at the sales figures for guns over the last 5-10 years, to see that.

The DHS knows this too, hence their overt preps to fight Americans.

They'll LOSE, of course... not because of idiots like loonyming, and the rest... but in spite of them. Sadly, these pathetic examples of humanity will (largely) be spared by their betters. Were there justice in this world, they would pay the price they deserve for their fucking TREACHERY.

IMO.

REALLY...

I used to be at a big apartment complex, 450 N. Mathilda Avenue. It was pretty nice back then, but I've not seen it in a long time. I could even give you the apartment number, but it doesn't matter. You don't know shit about this subject (any more than any of the OTHER stuff you ignorantly weigh-in on).

My local hangout was a bar called Cheers, close to the intersection of San Tomas and El Camino. My favorite restaurant was an Olive Garden, just East of the bar... I ate there so often, the manager used to meet me every time I went, and seat us in the quietest parts of the joint.

I took three years to finish dual Associates' Degrees at Mission/West Valley College- just a stones-throw from Great America. If you look at the student center, I had a direct hand in that being built, as well as the triad of corporations that leased ~80 acres of property from the district.

I could go on, but the point is made; you're talking shit as usual, and I'm talking the FACTS. Nothing new, here.

ME: Question:Why would ANYBODY take you seriously?
Answer: NOBODY who knows shit from shinola takes you seriously.

YOU: You're upset because I said your obsession with my ass was unhealthy, aren't you.

You really need to get it through the thick bone to that empty little cavity between your ears...

You're just another parasite, blathering the typical sheeple bullshit. I'd have to care about you, to be upset with you.

Let me be clear: you're a worthless old cunt, and a drag on society. You're literally more valuable dead than alive...

How you ever managed to reproduce, my guess would be the result of beer goggles.

I also had some fun with her by telling her that many Aspberger's people have genius-level IQ's,and asking her what it feels like to know someone she was ridiculing for being retarded is smarter than her.

That explains a lot... she was throwing that at me, looking for a bite...

I don't have Aspergers (though she claims the ability to diagnose such a thing through an internet forum), but I was pegged at genius-level IQ some 30 years ago...

[Like that was a big deal- a lot of the other people I knew in the same boat couldn't walk and chew bubble-gum, so what does that mean?]

Her and her sheeple ilk think that it's an ego thing... which, honestly, I don't get. Everybody's got strengths and weaknesses... though on loonyming's behalf, her strength is her imperviousness to logic and common-sense. Were she to actually use her brain in a constructive manner, she'd probably be pretty impressive.

Sadly, that's not the case, so the point is moot.

Really FOOL?

REALLY?

You REALLY are so lame so STOOPID, so chickenshit, so PUNK, so libTURD

Now you want to argue about the definition, and the technical difference between COMPLAINING and WHINING?

LOL! With your pitiful IGNORANCE of even basic ENGLISH FOOL?

LOL! You really are a pitiful little bitch!

LOL!

Whining is what YOU are doing right now you absurd simpering little cunt.

LOL!

So now I'm supposed to play dueling definitions with you you absurd little cunt?

The challenge was to find ANY CONSERVATIVE ON THIS SITE WHO HAS EVER COMPLAINED OF THE UNFAIRNESS OF LIFE.

You have not met that challenge little boy, you don't get to say what words mean you pitiful little bitch.

I honestly pity how insecure and stooopid you are.

Spoiled, stupid and ignorant, brain dead phuckwads, libTURD fools, tools, and idiots, are the real sickness; the messiah "king" obammy and his regime are only the symptoms.

Calm down. Not every woman on the internet looks like that picture of your last mail order bride (I bet she could really cook though).

Next time don't drink before you order.

Almost every country in the Middle East is awash in oil, and we have to side with the one that has nothing but joos. Goddamn, that was good thinkin'. Esso posted on 2012-01-13 7:37:56 ET
