Gov. Gavin Newsom proposes painful cuts to close California's growing budget deficit

California's budget deficit is at least $45 billion, a shortfall so large it prompted Gov. Gavin Newsom on Friday to propose painful spending cuts impacting immigrants, kindergarteners and low-income parents seeking child care in a state often lauded for having the world's fifth-largest economy...

www.yahoo.com

"After promising to pay for child care for another 146,000 children from low-income families, Newsom on Friday proposed pausing that expansion at 119,000. And after promising to boost how much money doctor's get to treat Medicaid patients, Newsom on Friday proposed canceling $6.7 billion that had been set aside to do that."

5th largest economy in the world?

Boy, the CA shortfall numbers are sure a moving target.....Somewhere between 64B and 24B depending on the crowd Gov. Goodhair Newsome is speaking to at any particular time.

I’m curious to see if the free healthcare for illegals will be subject to budget cuts.

Nah. That would be racist™

Its only a matter of time before california declares bankruptcy and turns to the federal government for a bailout

It's the tax system in CA, you dope.

No worries, they will rely on their huge over-representation in Congress to eventually extort the Federal treasury to pay for it all, as usual. It's easy enough to buy more than enough GOP votes to pass nearly anything.

It's a pass through state for goods from Asia, mainly, a false economy.

The income tax system in CA is driving away tax payers.

Lat I checked, California is doing just fine.

The Peanut Gallery can just do a search for 'tent cities bulldozed in California' for all that 'prosperity'. Keep in mind most of those are populated by people who have full time jobs, despite the right wing sniveling. I think Santa Barbara paid one company over $100 million to bulldoze camps. lol

Obviously, you never checked the last time.

Three straight years of population loss is not doing just fine.

How about that tax for leaving the state, huh? That reads like desperation on the part of the California Dems / Socialists.

A RECENTLY RELEASED REPORT FINDS THAT BUSINESSES CONTINUE TO RELOCATE TO MORE BUSINESS-FRIENDLY STATES BUT OFFERS RECOMMENDATIONS TO HELP CALIFORNIA STEM THE TIDE - Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce

Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce - A better L.A. is our business.

A recent report by the Hoover Institution found twice as many companies moved their headquarters out of California in 2021, compared to 2020.

It found 352 companies moved their headquarters out of state between 2018 and 2021 – with countless more moving warehouses or production facilities.

It counted 46 headquarters that relocated in 2018.

That number ballooned to 153 in 2021. The reasons vary—but there are some common ones including high tax rates, punitive regulations, high labor costs, and a high cost of living.

Yes, the tax payers are moving out in droves because of liberalism.

 

[SassyIrishLass]

California's debt is far worse than 64 billion. Likely nearer a trillion

There is a reason U-Hauls cost 4X more to go from CA to TX than the other way around.....If you can find one!
