Thread: California $11 billion in the hole

I wonder why.

IA's cost out state between 9 and 12 billion? Hmmmm, could this have something to do with it??? Arnie tells us "don't blame the "immigrants"....

Arnies somewhat right, don't blame the illegal aliens. Blame ARNIE for not taking care of business like he should have. Everything that happens in Cali flows right in my direction including illegal aliens because Nevada can't make a move without Cali doing it first. Arnie should return to the big screen and leave serious problems to people who can handle them...if there are any left who care.

I personaly feel that each and every border state governor should be held partially accountable for the failure to enforce their borders. Governors have a lot more clout than people think, and they should be ashamed of themselves for letting EVERYONE down. They should be ashamed of themselves for cutting budgets, jobs, and services while they continue to fund assistance programs and everything else they give to illegal aliens at the citizens expense!

I have to say, I saw Arnold on TV tonight.
He said he was going to ask for money AFTER they trim all they can and hike the taxes.

He said, "California needs to get it's act together BEFORE we go asking for money!"

He said they're going to trim all they can? Well if they have to hike taxes up, then they haven't trimmed enough then, have they. Arnie's so full of **censored** his eyes are brown!

It shouldn't matter what Arnie said, he should have taken control of his sanctuary city early to avoid putting the state in the position it is, or its further decline. Why cut jobs and hike up taxes if he could simply cut benefits to illegal aliens and follow federal law? He might not HAVE to cut jobs and hike taxes if he took control of the situation instead of asking for a bailout (which he has already done). I also read somewhere the other day that he claims by 3/09, the state will no longer be able to make payments on pensions and unemployment. So he plans on holding back those earned benefits by US citizens while allowing illegal aliens to continue getting theirs? How sick is that? And we all can expect something similar in our own states if this keeps happening.

Annie the terminator became Peewee Herman when his left wing pro-open borders socialist and anarchist wife yanked his nuts and now holds them in her purse. Because of irresponsible and wreck less spending to support illegal immigration and sanctuary cities he now is on his hands and knees begging for taxpayers to cleanup the mess he and the Reconquistas in the Assembly and Senate created.

This is what happens when you operate a sanctuary state in which your beloved illegals do not pay taxes, yet are allowed to continue to consume mass amounts of tax payer dollars in the way of social services, education, medical expenses, etc!

The middle class who have kept this state afloat are leaving in droves! They have had it with the sanctuary policies and the reconquista, pro-mexico government which has run this this state into the ground!

Arnold actually tried to stop the deficit train from derailing California but his propositions were defeated after big labor unions like the teachers union spent over 150 million to defeat them. Since then he's been acting like an irresponsible punk, talking about the problem but doing nothing. BTW he has the line item veto. Why hasn't he used it?

Yes, Justthatguy, after Arnold's propositions didn't pass he caved in, gave up imo. It's like, 'if I can't beat them I'll join them.' He does have quite a group in Sac to work with. But hero, he obviously isn't. I'll never look at him in his movies the same way again.

Heard recently that CA has been in violation of federal law for years due to a law Clinton signed making the states stop paying welfare after 5 yrs but this state has never followed it. After schooling, welfare is the largest part of our budget. Gee, you think that might be a place to start????
