Thread: CA-Schwarzenegger wants to eliminate all welfare programs

If this happens welfare recipients will be fleeing to other states for their piece of the American dream. CA Sanctuary cities are about to become all of our problems.

From the LA Times


Governor plans to completely eliminate welfare for families

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is proposing to completely eliminate the state’s welfare program for families, medical insurance for low-income children and Cal Grants cash assistance to college and university students.

The proposals to sharply scale back the assistance that California provides to its neediest residents came in testimony by the administration this afternoon at a joint legislative budget committee hearing. It followed comments by the governor earlier today that he would be withdrawing a proposal to help balance the budget with billions of dollars of borrowing and replacing it with program reductions.

The proposals would completely reshape the state’s social service network, transforming California from one of the country’s most generous states to one of the most tightfisted. The proposals are intended to help close a budget deficit estimated at $21.3 billion.

Is this a DONE DEAL? I hope so. It would set a president that can't be ignored by other states.

Not a done deal YET. The Gov. is suggesting it, the assembly has yet to vote on any of this.

In this case, we can leave it over here because CA gives state funded welfare to illegal aliens.

"Lest anyone feel smug about California's plight, it's useful to remember that the state's woes are a scaled-down version of the entire nation's. This year, the federal government will spend two dollars for every dollar it collects. Eventually, President Obama is going to have to lead a budget retrenchment every bit as wrenching as California's. This is just a trial run."
