You still don't understand. Read California's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. If you don't believe the link posted above, just go to the state's own website and read it there.

There is NO need for any cuts whatsoever. They actually have billions in surplus that the sheeple never know about. Like I said, they are lying to their own citizens.

While you're at it, read the CAFR for New York. CAFR NY

If that doesn't make you mad as hell, you must already be dead.

You've not read this, yet, have you?

CAFR

The politicians in Sacramento are shaking in their shoes at the prospect of an independent audit. They have been lying to you. Judgement day draws near.

they should spend the excess money they already have. They are lying to you, people.

Will everybody just go look at this? There's information there on 37 states. Remember it's not counting excess money held by counties and cities.

The information he is giving comes from the states' own Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports.

Even California has a surplus. The ruling class (politicians both Dem and Rep) want more of your money. Taxes are about power and control. That's why your freedoms are disappearing.

Read, learn, and vote the bastards out of office. Have you all forgotten the lessons of history? Wouldn't you rather live free?

I dare say that California doesn't even have a deficit. Go to this site and see for yourself. Politicians are NOT to be trusted; they love to hide money from you. Kinda like a beggar asking for money when his pockets are full of twenty dollar bills.

Oh, BTW, the info is correct. It comes from here.

This is totally off topic, but look at the report at CAFR.

In short it says: "The State of California at the State-level has approximately $63.39 billion of the taxpayer's money it is not using, i. e. surpluses equal to $1,790 for every man, woman and child in California or $7,158 for a family of 4. This does not include all the additional surpluses that exist in the school districts, cities, or counties in California."

This is not made up - the information comes from the California State Controller's Office. Read the report and then get mad as Hell. They are struggling alright; struggling to get more of your money! Bunch of damned crooks - Democrats and Republicans alike.

a small paste from their intro page:

Simultaneous Budget Deficits/Shortfalls AND Financial Surpluses

This is the most deceiving topic that governments, politicians, and the news media have conveyed to the public about governmental financial matters. In realty, a government can simultaneously have a budget shortfall and a financial surplus of the taxpayers' money.

A budget is an estimate of the amount of money to be received and the amounts to be spent for various purposes in a given time. It is a planning and monitoring document. It matches revenues (income) and expenditures (expenses) for a given period of time which is usually one year for most governments. It does NOT demonstrate the financial condition of a government.

You continually hear the phrase "budget shortfall" or "budget deficit." What this means is that projected (planned) expenditures will probably exceed projected (planned) revenues. When this happens, governments immediately want to raise taxes and/or reduce services regardless of the financial condition of the government. It works every time.

--good luck, %*()^# the bastages, and remember, any government's first job is to perpetuate itself and it's human members as an organization. It's an "us versus them" situation, with those guys holding the cards and with their mercenaries who insist they are correct and you are wrong, in every case. There is NO incentive for any of them to do anything that will jeopardize their own check, at best that is electioneering rhetoric, and that's it. The "for the peepuls" nonsense is job 789 with them.

The accumulated total of off the books assets held by the aggregate federal, state and local governments is currently in excess of 60 TRILLION dollars. At a modest rate of return, there would be no need for any further taxation anywhere in this nation.

The Biggest Shell Game For Theft In This World's History

Essentially, the annual budget is based on income (revenue) v expenditures. When there is money left over at the end of the year, it gets transferred off the books into one of many "funds" held by the multi jurisdictional municipal corporations that masquerade as government.

Check these methods to determine whether state and local governments have excesses of your tax dollars

Why do you allow yourselves to be taxed when there are planty of funds already in the hands of the "state" to meet the needs?
