Again I’d like details on what you propose to cram down. Let’s remember that our public school spending (50% of the budget) is already one of the lowest in the nation, our prison system is at twice the design capacity, etc. [/quote]
I don’t really care what they cram down as long as they don’t raise the already ridiculously high income tax. Property taxes should be raised (substantially) to pay for schools. To reduce the prison population, non-violent offenders should be fined instead of being imprisoned. Drug laws are ridiculous and need to be eliminated. Poor people and illegal immigrants should be sterilized. Expensive health care treatments for people near the end of their lives need to be eliminated.

Please tell us which contracts you would break and which state employees you would fire to close the projected $41 billion hole in the budget.[/quote]
Mish mentions several entire departments that could be cut here:

Once all the unnecessary departments/employees have been cut, then you cram down the state budget across the board until it’s balanced. We should also hike property taxes as that’s what got us here in the first place.

ParticipantOver-under on when the first realtor enters this thread to tout how this is good for the housing market?
So a 2.5% surcharge on income, eh? Wowsers! That’s gonna’ hurt. Supposedly Arnie is going to veto this crap. I think the state should just go ahead and declare bankruptcy so that some judge can break the union contracts and start firing CA state employees left and right as it’s obvious the legislature doesn’t have the stones to do what needs to be done.
