California bankrupt because it spent too much, not because it taxed too little

by editor on May 28, 2009

Would someone at the L.A. Times, San Francisco Chronicle or Sacramento Bee please explain how it’s possible for San Diego County to run up a $700 million surplus while the state of California is running up a $45 billion deficit?

These esteemed newspapers seem to think the only solution to the state’s legislature-induced suicide is more taxes, higher taxes, and really creative taxes.

Perhaps they should watch as Dianne Jacob, Chairman of the San Diego County Board of Supervisors, explains that California has a spending problem, not a revenue problem.

SD county has a surplus, unlike the SD CITY which is swimming in debt. Why? Because the County doesn’t have no stinking UNIONS.

Here is what Californians get paid.
Check for yourself.
Take a look at the firefighter that makes over $200,000!

Hey California, the liberal agendas you’ve been pursuing since the days of Governor Jerry “Moonbeam” Brown have a cost ya know. It’s time to start being a man and pay up, just get yourselves a giant straw and start sucking it up!

PS: Note to San Franciscans, I said it’s time to start being a man and suck it up, not find a man and suck it up. OK?

San Diego County balances their budget despite the State taking more and more revenue away from them.
