...his tax increase, gaining an additional $50 billion over the next seven years...
California, the favorite whipping boy for some Nutter's, is showing how to move from billions in deficit spending to a balanced budget with the prospect of surpluses in the near future. And that in just 2 years.
How did Gov. Brown and the Democrat-controlled legislature do it so fast? Spending cuts, higher taxes and an improved economy, a three-pronged attack on the deficit. Unlike the mantra of the right which advocates only cuts in spending, the Governor and the Legislature realized it takes much more than that to produce a healthy economy and budget.
Can California be a template for Washington? Not so long as the Nutter's in the House cling to their Grover Norquist pledge.

But but all the righties and conservatives are calling it socialism!
How could paying taxes that we should allready be paying solve the problem!?
sheeple like you are ready to believe anything.....

I'll believe it when I see a balanced budget.
Actually, quite a few things ran Cali into the ground, Prop 13 included, and much of it involved republicans.
Please be less fucking stupid.
What party has run the State just about forever??
What party is the majority in the legislature and has been since forever??
Try not to be so fucking stupid.
What party which up until the last election cycle could effectively block almost any legislation as a minority party?
Please pull your head out of your rather enormous ass and actually try to know what you're braying about before braying.

Oh so all those Dems in Cali haven't been running that State since forever?? The Dems weren't the ones who made all those deals with the Public Sector Unions?? The Dems aren't the majority in the legislature??
Please pull your fucking head out of your enormous fat ass and actually know what your braying about. Asshole.

They've been in the majority, yes, but since you're obviously unfamiliar with how the legislature worked up until recently, let me assist you in pulling your pointy head out of your ass:
California's problems largely have to do with ballot propositions from the 70s-80s that instituted permanent rule by a Republican minority and made it impossible to the balance the budget. It's an excellent model of the catastrophe America's currently headed toward because Republican filibuster abuse is moving the entire nation to California's broken "rule by the 40%" model.
You're a really, really good whiny little bitch, but you know fuckall about CA politics.

You blame Republicans for the fiscal mess in California?
There is NO basis in fact that proves taxes decrease revenues.
NONE
so is that an admission you cant find real facts to back your claim that revenues fall when taxes rise?
An old proverb applies here, never count your chickens before they hatch. One final observation, did I miss the section regarding CALPERS unfunded public employee retirement liabilities?
I'll believe California has a balanced budget when I see it.

Yeah, I'd like to see the state turn it around, especially so that they don't end up going hat in hand to Obama.
But I dunno, this one doesn't pass the smell test.
