Fiscal analyst to Gavin Newsom: Rough budget waters ahead

California’s independent legislative analyst is warning that the state faces a nearly $18 billion deficit. It is “critical” for lawmakers to rein in spending and increase revenues long term, he said.

Damn, you MAGATS really love the logical fallacy.

Kind of like the red welfare states complaining about how California is ruining the country, while California is the state that's footing the bill for more than half of the red states.

So you believe it's the Democrat's fault that crime gets committed in Minnesota, is discovered, investigated, and will be prosecuted. But you also believe Trump had absolutely no culpability in the insurrection of January 6th, and that all of his sycophants involved are "patriots" deserving of a pardon.
No doubt you're also of the opinion that DOGE saved us "trillions", even though it has been shown that it not only failed, it's going to COST us hundreds of millions over the short term.

The cognitive dissonance would kill a normal person, but not the MAGATS. They just continue following Trump around, head up his ***, blind to facts.
Good job.

What does Jan. 6 have to do with your state having 9 billion in fraud?

How do you feel about all of the fraud in your state? There is a lot in my state and I'm not a fan..

It points out that you MAGATS love logical fallacy.

You think that crime is somehow the fault of Democrats, yet deny when a crime is DIRECTLY the fault of a Republican.
I hate to shock you, but the fraud that was committed had nothing to do with whether a Dem was in power, or a Republitard. Your logic of blaming Dems is like the moron who blamed Newsom for Santa Ana winds causing a brush fore to go wildly out of control. It's like blaming Bush for allowing 9/11 to happen.

You're new here, so I'll share a not-so-secret secret: I investigate welfare fraud for a living. How do I feel about fraud? I prosecute people who commit it. I have a better than 95% success rate in front of a judge.
I have to show a benefit of $3 for every dollar that is spent on my program. For FY 2024, my team showed a benefit to my state well in excess of that.
Meanwhile people on here ***** about fraud, while admitting to have committed it, and aiding and abetting others who have or currently are.
Does that answer your question?

Florida. Showing the world that they're even dumber than most people thought.

What you think @Jimi77 ?

Dude that has been going on since the 90s.... unless of course Rob says it wasn't, in which case I didn't witness this occurring in the 90s. And note that when the mortgage implosion happened in 2008, they passed all sorts laws about mortgage fraud, limited/no documentation loans, etc. But they never once attempted to address this type of fraud/loans. Interesting how that works.

They're addicted to buying votes.

Republicans defy Speaker Mike Johnson to force House vote on extending ACA subsidies

The stunning move comes after House Republican leaders pushed ahead with a health care bill that does not address the soaring monthly premiums that millions of people will soon endure as specific tax credits through the Affordable Care Act expire at year’s end.

Yeah. Trump had absolutely nothing to do with Jan 6th, other than inciting his sycophants to commit an insurrection and attempted coup, and STILL railing on about how the election was "stolen".

FFS even his own constituency (and a BIPARTISAN Congressional committee) blames him for the shit that went down that day, including people who were guilty of participating and later pardoned.

Anyone who denies his culpability is a genuine idiot, or simply denying reality in support of the racist, ******, ****** predator, pathological liar, known as Trump.

With all of the unedited video and unedited transcripts of Jan 6th it is down right pathetic that you are dug in so deep in what you were told happened that even the TRUTH is ignored by you.

The depth of conviction the left has toward Jan 6th and their resultant inquisition just shows that the same folks that wanted you interred in a "camp" or fired for not taking the "vaxx" are not critical thinkers. Maybe not someone who should hold positions of power either. What comes around goes around after all...
There's NO debate to be had with those that would do you harm while hiding behind "egalitarian" purposes to make themselves feel good. Or advance some sick agenda... 6-5 and pick em' odds wise or just choose 11.
Distrust/fatigue in the left has definitely exponentially increased. They're burning bridges at an exponential rate.
Imagine this being discussed as little as 3yr ago on any platform without censorship.
Things are changin'

So is that like when someone kills somebody and then attorneys argue it was the Black Sabbath albums dude was listening too?

I was also wondering, At your job have you ever busted a Samali for welfare fraud or has it only been white people?
