Saw a news brief , a reporter was asking Gavin Newsom what happened to the missing 24 billion in the California budget that disappeared. No answer. And they are trying to raise taxes.
24 billion missing
- Thread starter longbowhunter2
- Start date
It's not missing they lined the their pockets awarding useless contracts for homeless, train to nowhere, policies against energy and many others
It's all comes down to poor financial management. We are over taxed and they over spend. Along with a lot of political graft.
“A billion here, a billion there and pretty soon we’re talking real money”. Author unknown.
R- Everett Dirksen. Rep from Illinois. Senate minority leader 1959-1969.
Thanks Doc. I’m sure I didn’t get the quote exactly right, but I think I got the gist of it lol.
First there was the CA Bullet Train, started at 2Bil, then ballooned to $35B......now a Vegas to Anaheim train with another $12Bil......does the spending ever end ? Zero accountability. Oay
24 billion just is the tip of the ice berg. They managed to kill off every small businesses. Cities are turning into ghost/ slums. Middle class are tired of paying over 50 % of their income to these politicians who think tax payers
Money is their private slush funds. To do as they will. Their stupid laws keep getting worst and worst. Their bull shit environmental laws killing gas or propane vehicles and devices , people are said enough is enough and just get up and leave.
I would not be surprised the will try to convert the entire state to 15 minute city.

Of course they believe him. Mainly the ladies. He's cute, wears $1000+ dollar suits, comes from San Fran, and has a hot wife. What more could you want from the leader of the 5th largest economy on the planet? The 24 billion is not accurate, according to the state equivalent of the Office of Management and Budget, which is a non-partison bunch of economists and accountants who make very accurate projections and don't give a damn about the politics. Their estimate of next year's deficit is closer to 40 billion, which of course, Newsom rejects, since he knows so much more about economics than professional economists and accountants. CA went from a huge surplus to a huge deficit in 2 years. Sacramento has until June 30 to balance the budget, which our state constitution requires. Figure the odds. They'll have to cut spending by about 15% across the board or raise taxes.
The next 4 weeks should be interesting.
The famous words are coming...... *YOU NEED TO PAY YOUR FAIR SHARE....and we need it for the Children*
Those rich restaurant owners insist on making a profit while Being forced to pay a guy $20/hr to drop frozen French fries into a fryer. Greedy bastards.
Business men in general stay in business to make profit. But they hire people to work for them. That said ya they are very cheap.
