But just days into his second term, that dream appeared to be ending. Tuesday, Newsom announced California likely won’t collect enough money in taxes to pay for all of its obligations, leaving a $22.5 billion hole in its budget.

Whoops, time to raise taxes - again
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — From a budget perspective, the first four years of California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s time in office has been a fairy tale: A seemingly endless flow of money that paid to enact some of the country’s most progressive policies while acting as a bulwark against a tide of conservative rulings on abortion and guns from the U.S. Supreme Court.

Personally, I find it entertaining when Leftist politicians run out of other people's money.
ReplyDelete"...the first four years of California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s time in office has been a fairy tale"...
ReplyDeleteAnd then I click on the link to see the article is written by an Associated Press reporter.
Figures.
Maffs be rayciss
ReplyDeleteNow that Bidet is being pushed out, Newsom will be nominated to be VP. UGH!!!
ReplyDeleteCount on it.
DeleteThen 6 months later, Comma-La steps down. I wonder what government post his Aunt Nancy will be appointed to.
Person who wrote that article never read any of the real fairy tales. The real Mother Goose stuff would give most of today’s folks a good case of the vapors, and my mom had a couple of books of Central European fairy tales that could have been taken from “Saw”.
ReplyDeleteWhich, come to think of it, is about like Cali nowadays

Really. The original "Hansel and Gretel" is so f-in dark it's downright scary. Subtle hint: They do not survive. Jack the Giant Slayer? Doesn't survive. Jack and the Beanstalk, doesn't survive. Even the Little Mermaid? Doesn't survive, as that story is all about class barriers and how one trollop shouldn't get her hopes up (and The Ginger Idiot's wife should have read the original book and not watched Disney's version.)
DeleteAt some point, he'll need to build a wall to keep people from leaving. Or institute policies that rob the majority of Californians the ability to independtly leave. Nah, they'd never do anything restrict the ability of people to load up a car and leave.
ReplyDeleteIt will likely be an exit tax, like the Feds do when you try to relinquish your citizenship. Or just maintain, "Once a Califruitopian, always a Califruitopian".
DeleteAgain just like the feds(taxes owed on world income, regardless of residency, with certain provisos.

Of course cutting spending will never be considered.
ReplyDeleteIf you still live in this shit hole, get out now!
ReplyDeleteStarting January 1, 2024, based on your 2023 state taxes, a 12% departure tax must be paid for you will be allowed to move out of California.
ReplyDeleteCatch me, and "enjoy" (this word does not mean what you think it does) enforcing it, I say.
DeleteDo you or anyone in your household have any pension or deferred plan with CA? Do you or anyone in your household have assets at any financial institution which has at least branch offices in CA?
DeleteHas your new state entered into an agreement with CA?
Did you sell any residence in CA before moving?
Did you notify buyer of a possible tax delinquency, or lien(s) on said property?
Did you sell all real estate holdings in CA before moving?
There's more, but you get the idea.
Because thats how.
It's by design. Wreck the capitalist model. It's funny how many people don't get this.
ReplyDeleteIf you think they have a problem now, just wait until San Fran starts paying out $5,000,000 plus debt cancellation per black resident for slavery reparations.
ReplyDeleteFuck him, and all the others like him that have destroyed California. Fuck that place. We need to continue the fence from the southern border all the way up to Northern California. Get out now while you still can bitches.
ReplyDeleteA lot of my brothers and sister still live there, I got out two years ago, thank God...they were scratching their heads as to why I would leave....what a pos state it is....
DeleteUnbelievable but true, Newsom just signed a bill into law that allows wetbacks to become police officers. I shit u not!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, THIS will end well.
DeleteEvery one of these communist pieces of shit have forgotten about the Berlin wall. They had to build a wall to keep everyone from fleeing the shit hole.
