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.
Poster Comment: Barack 0'bush forced Arnold Moonbeam to spend like crazy, and regulate until business left the state. Such a sad story from the D&R party. parasites

Who would have ever thought that taxing the hell out of the productive people so the parasites could live comfortably without working would come to financial disaster? Especially with the productive taxpaying citizens leaving the state in droves while the state continues to not only support the parasites in style,but even invite more parasites in from foreign countries? What could have possibly gone wrong?
I suppose that makes you feel better in some twisted way, but it is totally delusional.
Have you tried to explain this to my brother in San Jose,who has had government housing built across the street from his house that is filled with people who barely speak English or don't speak it at all? I'm pretty sure he would be happy to talk with you about the level of violence,theft,and other crimes now happening in the neighborhood that he grew up in 50 years ago.
I'm pretty sure he would be happy to talk with you about the level of violence,theft,and other crimes now happening in the neighborhood that he grew up in 50 years ago. If your brother thinks San Jose is bad As of 2009, the city had the second lowest violent crime rate of any city with 500,000 or more residents, second only to Honolulu.[57] However in 2011, homicides have surged surpassing 2010's number of homicides which was 20 and in 2011 was 39.[61] Wikipedia
I wonder who else Sneaky thinks will pick all that produce or cheaply clean the offices of the computer moguls.
Welfare parasites once their "Free money" and housing are cut off. Not to mention the three city workers you see leaning on shovels at city work projects while one guy with a shovel does all the work.
Not to mention the three city workers you see leaning on shovels at city work projects while one guy with a shovel does all the work. Exactly right. The more I listen to these lazy shitheads, piss and moan about how unfair life is, the more I believe that we need to go cold turkey -- cut it all off, immediately. Eliminate welfare. Fire government employees. Means test Social Security and Medicare. Done. What will happen to these people? Will they just sit their and let themselves starve? NO, they will figure out a way to feed themselves, by getting a job or creating their own job.
I suspect that is exactly what is going to happen. One of the first victims will be loonyming. There won't be any. Since the money was stolen, and merely a stack of IOUs left, when the government goes bust, these programs will be relegated to the ash-heaps of history. I think a lot of them will end up in FEMA camps (remember, the ones they said "don't exist?"). They'll go to the government for handouts, and end up in hand-cuffs. Those that don't, will try to steal from the better- prepared, and end up dead. The lazy will simply hold out for help that will not come in time, and they suffer terribly- many of them dying. I believe that thin veneer of society is going to be wiped away rather quickly, as the harsh realities set in. "What will happen to these people," you ask? They'll get strong and tough, or they'll die. Simple as that.
At one point or another it HAS to happen. The money just isn't there and we will reach the point where we can't borrow it anymore because it won't be in the interests of the international bankers to bail us out. That will be the day the Second American Revolution starts.
That will be the day the Second American Revolution starts. Who will pay for the revolution, or do you think food, weapons, ammunition, transportation, uniforms (Orly Taitz wants uniforms), medical supplies, etc. are free.
Brown shirts maybe? cuz we all know this supposed revolution is going to be led by the right. Who else is talking about it?
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.
I hear ya Eric. I think you guys need to get your stories straight though.
Who, precisely, is "you guys?" And what exactly is the story you think I'm telling? From my perspective, I'm putting out easily verifiable information, and hoping that others will see what's coming... We have the resident sheeple who think the government is our SAVIOR from every ill in the world, when the reality is the #1 cause of death of people over the last 100 years... is GOVERNMENTS. What, 200 million people killed by government? I don't see this as an "us" or "them" type of thing... George Carlin summarized it best: Forget the politicians, they’re irrelevant. Politicians are put there to give you that idea that you have freedom of choice. You don’t. You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything. They own all the important land, they own and control the corporations, and they’ve long since bought and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the State Houses, and the City Halls. They’ve got the judges in their back pockets. And they own all the big media companies so they control just about all the news and information you get to hear. They’ve got you by the balls. They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying to get what they want. Well, we know what they want; they want more for themselves and less for everybody else. But I’ll tell you what they don’t want—they don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don’t want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They’re not interested in that. That doesn’t help them. That’s against their interest. You know something, they don’t want people that are smart enough to sit around their kitchen table and figure out how badly they’re getting fucked by a system that threw them overboard 30 fucking years ago. They don’t want that, you know what they want? They want obedient workers, obedient workers. People who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork and just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay, the longer hours, the reduced benefits, the end of overtime and the vanishing pension that disappears the minute you go to collect it. And now they’re coming for your social security money. They want your fucking retirement money; they want it back so they can give it to their criminal friends on Wall Street. And you know something? They’ll get it. They’ll get it all from you sooner or later because they own this fucking place. It’s a big club and you ain’t in it! You and I are not in the Big Club. By the way, it’s the same big club they use to beat you in the head with all day long when they tell you what to believe. All day long beating you over the head with their media telling you what to believe, what to believe, what to think and what to buy. The table is tilted folks, the game is rigged. Nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to care. Good honest hard working people, white collar, blue collar, it doesn’t matter what color shirt you have on. Good honest hard working people continue, these are people of modest means, continue to elect these rich cocksuckers who don’t give a fuck about them. They don’t give a fuck about you. They don’t give a fuck about…give a fuck about you! They don’t care about you at all, at all, at all. And nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to care. That’s what the owners count on, the fact that Americans are and will probably remain willfully ignorant of the big red, white, and blue dick that’s being jammed up their assholes everyday. Because the owners of this country know the truth, it’s called the American Dream, because you have to be asleep to believe it. Look, you and I disagree on political viewpoints. Fine. But this shit that's coming, is about as equal opportunity as it gets... We're not "in the club," and so we're gonna' be stuck in shit for a very long time. I don't know the solution. I doubt there is a solution... all we can do is prepare as best as possible, do our best... and we'll see what we see. It's rack-time, so I'll bid you adieu.

I think you guys need to get your stories straight though.
There's a reason that education sucks, and it’s the same reason it will never ever ever be fixed. It’s never going to get any better, don’t look for it. Be happy with what you’ve got. Because the owners of this country don’t want that. I’m talking about the real owners now, the big, wealthy, business interests that control all things and make the big decisions.
