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

I should have been an economist where being wrong lots of times is the norm. I used to do forecasting years ago, with manpower, and we were pretty dang accurate. Hi! I had some connectivity problems and was out of sight for a while. Good to see you.
Isn't that what the Mayan calender predicts?

No, Army manpower - gains, losses, promotions and all that. I did a stint in the Pentagon years ago.
That's not Israel's fault. They would be foolish to not take the free money we give them. It's our own fault and the fault of the politicians we elect for giving it to them. Not to mention Egypt,Africa,etc,etc,etc.

You are missing the point,which is that the SWAT and other jack-booted thugs with badges think THEY are the military. That's why these dweebs call us "civilians" This misconception needs to be corrected immediately.

I wonder how much money Israel spends lobbying for "free money".

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 don't know,but given all the dual citizenship people in this country that are prominent and have influence,I suspect they spend very little. All they have to do anytime their gravy train is threatened is to play the "Anti- Semite/You Nazi!" card and things are all-well again.

Loonyming: I suppose that makes you feel better in some twisted way, but it is totally delusional. Hardly. Sneaky is telling it like it is. Keep 'brandishing your ignorance,' loon. Whenever I need a good laugh, I just look at your latest posts.
LoonyMing: I brandish my ignorance like a crucifix at vampires. 'It's now very common to hear people say, "I'm rather offended by that", as if that gives them certain rights. It's no more than a whine. It has no meaning, it has no purpose, it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. "I'm offended by that." Well, so fucking what?' —Stephen Fry
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

The first thing that they need to cut is the lavish pension programs for government bureaucrats.
Well,since it is the only place he has ever lived and that house is the one he grew up in,it's all he has to use for a reference point. It sure ain't East St.Louis,though.

Yeah,but I consider them to be HorseHillary from start to finish. The calendars were and are pretty impressive. I can't say that about the predictions,though. If they were worth a damn at predicting,they would have been waiting to ambush the Spanish on the beach when they landed.

Most big companies created annual budgets, do quarterly forecasts, and report on monthly actuals. If the forecasts doesn't align with the budget or the actuals don't align with the forecast, companies do something about it (cut planned spending). Companies don't wait two, three, or five years to do something about a problem. The problem is that politicians don't like to cut spending, because this is how they buy votes to stay in power.
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.

Certainly not Americans, they won't work for wages that puts them in the food stamp line.

Not nearly as costly as the free marketeers that crashed the world economy and then claimed bonuses.

And the mixing of the two models has caused a lot of the problems we see now. Government depts were never meant to earn a profit. They were meant to supply a service.

You have your facts wrong, as usual. Healthcare (Medicare, Medicaid, CHIP, FDA, etc) is the largest federal government expenditure. It's 25% of the federal budget this year. That doesn't even include what the States pay out in Medicaid. Government pensions (Social Security and federal worker pensions) is the second largest budget item. Defense is number 3. Various welfare programs are number 4.
Yeah,but I consider them to be HorseHillary from start to finish. The calendars were and are pretty impressive. I can't say that about the predictions,though. If they were worth a damn at predicting,they would have been waiting to ambush the Spanish on the beach when they landed. It's an astronomical calendar. It doesn't actually predict any event that isn't astrnomical, other than the end of the calendar cycle.
George, the CEO president with an MBA, gave us the Iraq war that was supposed to pay for itself. That didn't work out any better than his cutting taxes to raise revenue and balance the budget.

PLEASE tell me you are kidding. This is out there. Even for you. Of course she is NOT kidding. Mass murder is what leftists always do. This is why they must be defeated, at all costs. 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 wonder who else Sneaky thinks will pick all that produce or cheaply clean the offices of the computer moguls. Typical libTURD whores. First this hag quotes some gibberish at you about San Jose telling you in effect to believe her bullshit NOT your own or your brother's eyes! I mean hell's bells your brother has only LIVED there for decades while this hag couldn't find San Jose on a bet. Then the other hag shows the world that she is both a FOOL and a raciest, (just your typical libTURD). There are no crops to pick in San Jose FOOL. Those steaming tenements filled with non-english speakers are PRESUMED by this hag to be janitors. That's raciest! Typical stoooooooopid libTURD whores.
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.
Of course, without government employees, crime could be an attractive alternative. Maybe you should see how that's all working in Somalia before proposing it here - their free market, self supporting coast guard is particularly interesting.
