Last year Democrats passed free health care for all illegals in the state.  That sounds like something that can easily be cut and save billions.  Another one is Democrats passed free abortions for everyone who wants one plus travel money to get to California for you free abortion plus free hotel stays.

And to deflect from the consequences of Democrats horrible radical left wing policies and mass over spending...  Greasy Newscum lies and tries to blame climate change for the state's $65 Billion budget deficit and terrible economy.

California is #1 in job loses, #1 in violent crime growth, and #1 in homelessness.  That is what unchecked power for leftists results in.

We literally had brain dead idiots like A.O.C. claiming "who cares?  It is literally free money so we can just print more and we can give it to people who can't work or who don't want to work".  That is how stupid and evil Democrats are.

It was $2400 from the state plus $2000 from the feds for $4400 per month for two years of free money.  So every fucking lazy bum, shyster, fraudster, and illegal alien all took it.

Then Dems have the nerve to lie and claim inflation wasn't their fault.  Bull shit!  They literally doubled the entire money supply in just two years.  Now the liars claim "no one knew that would cause inflation" when everyone who took econ 101 knew that.

Raising taxes will only speed up the departure of people in the middle from the Golden State.

Yep, during covid Dems deliberately gave everyone $4000 per month who applied and deliberately stopped checking for eligibility so not only did they give it to millions of illegals aliens (which is illegal for them to do) but people in other countries applied and Democrats just gave away $24 billion and didn't bother to track anything because they KNEW fraud on a cast scale was occuring and didn't want there to be a paper trail.

That is the level of corruption one party states have.  Now the state unemployment fund is broke and in debt so Dems are raising taxes, again, without reforming anything so it will just happen again.

California's gas tax already goes up every year automatically as it is indexed to inflation.  Yet Democrats have so over spent there is now a $65 billion budget deficit and $24 billion in unemployment funds are "unaccounted for" meaning stole by fraud.  Now, Democrats could seriously reduce spending to balance the budget but instead they want to raise taxes which are already the highest in the nation.

They are pushing a new $0.50 per gallon gas tax on top of the existing  $0.511 state gas tax and the federal $0.184 gas tax.  Of course, lying Democrats say "it is to fight climate change" when all it will do is feed inflation and make life still more unaffordable

Not nearly to the same degree and they weren't nearly as unhinged and insane back then.

Why not just run them over?

Facts Muslims don't want to hear.  BTW the Islamic world practiced the slave trade for 14 centuries and enslaved 20-25 times as many Africans.  They also attacked, conquered or tried to conquer every non-muslom society, and enslave them.

Why specialists want to destroy western civilization and Christianity.  A review of historical documents written by self declared socialists including how they plan to accomplish it.  It is literally everything the left pushes to thos day.
