Let the Sunshine In
Posted February 3rd, 2009 at 11.20am in Ongoing Priorities.
California is no longer the Golden State. Now a complete captive to public sector unions, spending has exploded by 40% over the past five years. The state perpetually runs massive budget deficits, this year’s record $40 billion deficit being only the latest.
The allies of big government and big labor in Congress now want Obama’s Trillion Dollar Debt Plan to include up to $63.4 billion for Sacramento. If the Debt Plan passes, the New York Times reports that “California will most likely be a reliable indicator of the plan’s success or failure.”
To help track all the federal tax payer dollars pouring through Sacramento, the National Taxpayers Union Foundation and the Sam Adams Alliance have been developing a California state budget page to help citizens better track how their money is being spent.
So check it out, and help keep the Government of California honest.

What do you expect from California? Gov. Schwarzenegger, since he was bashed for the “girlie-man” comments, has turned into a sniffling Leftist. Add to that the amount of Illegal Aliens and total whacko’s who live in California, and you have a recipe for disaster! Then you have good’ol Nancy Pellosi who is the standard bearer of the Left Wing. How can one expect California NOT to be a total mess?
