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 Californias 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.
Governments and companies exist for very different purposes.
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.

we spend in 5 hours on Israel and War what we spend in 5 years on our Health Care.
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.

You haven't heard about the Mayan calender predictions?
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.

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 anybodys guess. Isn't that what the Mayan calender predicts?
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.

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.
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.

Put your money where your BIG FAT ASS is WHORE.
QUOTE ANY "CONSERVATIVE" on THIS site moaning about the "UNFAIRNESS of LIFE".
You CAN'T do it because as usual you gibbering bitch, you LIE.
I'll bet you $100.00 right now you simpering libTURD whore that you cannot find such a quote, (LOSER to pay Stone towards THIS site btw whore).

You and mining need to get together and compare notes. She says they don't exist.
Which makes me wonder if she works for a city government.

Retired government employees, probably school teachers.
Their entire Modus operandi is geared towards protecting their 6 figure taxpayer- financed pensions.

Yup. And require the churches and other charities to actually start using at least 75 percent of their intake to provide the necessary services for the people truly in need,or start paying taxes on income and property.
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 agree. Almost all will be screaming bloody murder at first because welfare is all they have ever known and it has never even occurred to them they could provide for themselves,never mind flourish. Thanks to the Poverty Pimps that run their churches.
I think in the long run most will end up being grateful once they accept reality and discover they really CAN provide a better living for themselves and feel better about themselves if they work.
It would be a tough sell at first,though. We are talking about a problem now that is multi-generational,and we now have grandparents that have never had a job in their lives.

Your response to life is far to emotional to be rational.
I merely confirm what Sneaky said.
It is YOU who brings emotion into the picture.
BTW, I notice that you fail to provide any data to back up your claims. Indeed, data is something you never introduce, because the data would always prove you to be a liar.

It deserves to be repeated.
It doesn't matter whether they lable themselves fascists, socialists, communists, democrats OR republicans... Total government control ALWAYS results in mountains of skulls.
It is clearly detailed in the article The Political Spectrum Con. The Leftism that loony adheres to is total government control. She (foolishly) believes that it will allow her to keep collecting "free" government checks.
loonybitch, Brian S and the rest of the big-government shills and parasites, will have you believe that government is our savior.
Government is the enemy.

I suspect that is exactly what is going to happen.
One of the first victims will be loonyming.
Means test Social Security and Medicare.
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.
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 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.

They'll outlaw gold (like Roosevelt), and then pay off Socialist Insecurity and MediFraud with funny money (like the Wiemar Republic).
When inflation wipes out what little savings that Americans actually have, we'll all be equally broke...
We'll be a regular socialist paradise!
