California Orders Spending Freeze on $68 Billion Budget Deficit

[Bigfoot]

"California Governor Gavin Newsom ordered a spending freeze as the state’s projected budget deficit ballooned to $68 billion for the next fiscal year — almost five times higher than the initial forecast."

"State agencies should cut spending on everything from office supplies to computer equipment and halt all non-essential travel, Newsom’s Department of Finance said in a letter posted to its website late Tuesday. The freeze also restricts purchases of new vehicles and other equipment."

Biting them in the ass.

It's probably Trumps fault.

And Russia.

They should threaten to cut all essential services first so they can extort their residents for even more money.

It's also scary to think a governor running a $68B deficit could be the next POTUS.

I wonder if they stopped helping migrants or are shipping them back to Texas.

maybe stop giving FREE healthcare to 10.5 million illegals. Stop giving them iPhones, free food and clothing. How about putting 10.5 million illegals om a bus, and shipping them home to Guatemala, Venezuela, and Brazil.

Stop building free 'NO income' family housing.

All in the Plan...a perfect reason raise sales tax percentages, income tax, double DMV rates and driving infractions, increase taxes on cell phones, heating...just look at England or Scotland that is our future in California and NYS.....

I’m not sure we will stop spending though.

Of course that won’t be on the chopping block to stop funding.

They will.

But they're going to run out of them soon.

And the more they tax, the faster they're going to leave.

Just like all the empty high rises in NYC. A shitload of business left NYC.

Not only from WFH, but fortune 500 companies in general got sick and tired of dicking around with high taxes and everything else NYS and NYC does in general.

I know of many folks who's primary corporate HQ left NYC and went to greener pastures.

I bet that someone could come up with a fairly accurate report with some numbers these days.

No, they came in thru Mexico, so send them back there (it's cheaper). If they come back across and get caught it's automatically 10 years hard labor. Bring back chain gangs!
