[quote=article]California will give cash payments to immigrants living in the country illegally, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Wednesday, using a mix of taxpayer money and charitable contributions to give 150,000 adults $500 each during the coronavirus outbreak.[/quote]
I just can’t even imagine why. This is just wrong. Taking from taxpayers in one country to give to people who aren’t taxpayers from another country. It just is ethically wrong.[/quote]
the simple truth is, politicians are giving money away is because its a way for them to think of themselves as doing something good,… BUT sadly if ever do they think of the long term finances or the knock on effects!!!
a systemic case in point,…
[quote] AUDIT: SAN DIEGO’S FISCAL HEALTH
San Diego is the most fiscally troubled city in San Diego County, according to the California State Auditor.
…That poor ranking appears to be driven by the city’s large amount of long term debt, more than $3.3 billion, and its failure to set aside adequate funding to meet the demands of its pension and other post-employment benefit obligations, according to the dashboard.
San Diego also received the worst rating when came to the amount it has set aside in its financial reserves, an issue the auditor specifically highlighted during her press conference.
“The city of San Diego really only has a couple of months of reserves set aside,” said Howle. “This should be a warning flag for city officials and the city of San Diego, that this is an area officials need to focus on.”
we are facing the perfect $hit $torm,… with political leadership consisting of showboating idiots who pander to their own constituencies BUT basically have a history of having NO balls to deal w/ big problems AND shit for brains
for example Todd Gloria who looks to become the next mayor of this city and the irony is if the idiot gets elected he is going to have to fix problem he basically created in the first place?!
basically seems politicians like giving away stuff that isn’t theirs (for votes)
[quote] Southern California Rental Housing Association Addresses AB-828
The Southern California Rental Housing Association is providing a streamline page in order to take action and respond to AB-828, an assembly bill amended recently that would purportedly force property owners to reduce rents on tenants by 25% for 12 months.
bottom line,… too many no talent ass clown politicians in both parties have fallen into the trap of buying things on credit that otherwise they could not afford
[quote=sdduuuude][quote=ocrenter]We spent $133 million for a guy’s golf over the last 3 years. Prospective, people![/quote]
Just because that is wrong doesn’t make this not wrong.[/quote]
It is wrong in principle, but right in practice. You don’t want 2 million people (mostly essential workers) so cash strapped that they continue to go to work while having symptoms.
The $133 million is just a comparison. Quite frankly I wouldn’t mind spending $266 million for his golf game if he did even half as good of job as Taiwan’s Tsai Ing Wen.
