Actually, the California government didn’t really cut a lot of spending in this current budget. Most of it was comprised of cuts in anticipated spending increases for current programs. So, really, there weren’t a lot of net-cuts in this budget. Don’t you listen to John and Ken?
Again, unions and teachers got what they wanted.
The government no longer serves us. We serve the government.
Like the last budget, however, they’ll be back. Business activity will slow because of these increases, bringing in less “revenue,” but the unions will be protected for a number of additional months.
For the long-term, we need a part-time legislature.
