California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) says the nation's most populous state has flipped from 'tens of billions in surplus' to deficits over the course of weeks.
With 30 million unemployment claims filed since the coronavirus pandemic resulted in the shutdown of broad swaths of the economy, states are reporting that they'll need at least $1 trillion in aid from the federal government - which has already doled out over $2.2 trillion in relief for business loans, stimulus checks, expanded unemployment benefits and small business assistance.
"I’m doing everything I can to work with cities and counties, but we are not going to be in a position, even as the nation’s fifth-largest economy, to provide for the needs of all the cities and the counties without federal support," said Newsom.
How are they goi g to give money to illegals if they don’t know who is an illegal.
Probably a scam. Money will go to some private entity responsible for distribution of the money, money will go into politicians accounts, few thousand will be spent to pretend they did something... nice scam.
First step: Government pension reform needed to qualify.
Mandatory: Put it on the Teacher's Union to run the pension, state will only absolutely guarantee $1000/month. The taxpayer will make a modest contribution of 3% of pay but anything else AFT/Whomever has to organize contributions and manage the investments. ALL of the medical is on the Union, they can charge whatever dues necessary.
$1000 month + Soc Sec is fine for security. Oh, also must retire to California or forfeit 33%. The must put some water back in the well. Should be the law for all gov pensions - you gotta retire in-state. No more blue gov employees jacking up wages and pensions, then fleeing to low/no tax Red States, fucking everybody over who contributed to their retirement.
Like, Duhhhhhhhh, Gavin, but gotta keep those people off the beaches.
Do you really think there is going to be sympathy in the Federal Government for the whiney little shit who has basically said no Federal law or Federal law enforcements apply to him or his state? He should be arrested along with any number of Dem apparatchiks in Cali who thumb their nose at those laws and the Constitution.
Isn't this what Dems are best at: focussing on SJW trivia and edicts, while they think they can just go back to strangle the golden goose for more eggs?
Here is simple solution to the state financial deficit: line up all the names in the state payroll in descending order of their annual salary, then lay off from the top of the list, one at a time, till the remaining total outlay matches the current state tax revenue.
How about we end the sanctuary state status and deport any non-citizen. That would deplete the homeless population and take out the dead-weight on our social welfare system?
