What a lying scumbag - typical DemocRat -- The economic slowdown, caused by the state's highest unemployment in the nation after recent data revealed that job growth in the Golden State was much lower in 2023 than previously believed, is largely to blame for the shortfall. The exodus of businesses and residents from the state for more tax-friendly states is also a contributing factor. California relies heavily on income taxes for its revenue. -- California saw its first-ever population decline in 2020, when the state imposed rigid lockdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic. From January 2020 to July 2022, the state lost well over half a million people, with the number of residents leaving surpassing those moving in by almost 700,000. -- "We're the only state that's saying we're gonna give every single person in this state that's here illegally free taxpayer funds," Kiley told Fox News Digital. "California is a model of exactly what not to do when it comes to managing a state's finances and managing its tax system and spending." -- In 2022, Newsom signed a $301 billion budget into law and boasted a $97 billion surplus. The budget, nearly triple what it was the prior fiscal year, included billions of dollars for climate change initiatives, homelessness and education. But two years later, the deficit has ballooned. -- How ANYONE can continue to vote for this scumbag and for any DemocRat is beyond belief. --Here is the article that shows just what DemocRats have done to California ---https://www.foxnews.com/politics/gov-gavin-newsom-faces-reckoning-73-billion-budget-deficit-lawmakers-say-helped-create
