According
to a Fox News report, “Gov. Gavin Newsom, D-Calif., proposed slashing budgets regarding public safety, such
as prisons and law enforcement, as the state simultaneously grapples with a
crippling deficit and doubles down on climate goals relating to equity.”
(“Climate goals relating to equity?” A progressive twofer!)
Gov. Hair Gel’s proposed
budget, recently released, notes that "difficult decisions" are
necessary to address the estimated $27.6 billion deficit, projected to continue
into the foreseeable future. The Fox report stated that the budget “includes a
$97 million cut to trial court operations, $10 million to the Department of
Justice's Division of Law Enforcement and more than $80 million to the
Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.”
“Difficult decisions?” Really?!
Difficult? How about ceasing funding for illegal aliens instead
of slashing the budget for law enforcement?! Might that lead to a safer, more
stable and just society? Talk about a twofer! The erstwhile Golden State’s food
assistance program could be limited to truly needy citizens, and it
could stop spending more than $2.7 billion a year providing free health care to
illegals! The latter figure alone is almost 13 times more than
the previously enumerated proposed cuts!
A spokesperson
for Newsome told Fox News Digital, "The budget proposes numerous ways
to make government more efficient and reduce costs for taxpayers, including
cuts on inmate spending.” Well, it should be a no-brainer to cut
spending on inmates, since California is no longer incarcerating anyone!
Newsome’s
proposed budget should be known as the “How to Destroy a State in One Easy Step
Program.”
