Brown Cuts Services For Poor, Sick, Old
March 25th, 2011From his spear carries at the Los Angeles Times:
But honestly, is there anything more obvious than a Democrat politician? This is what Democrats always do. They make the most painful, the most heart-rending cuts first. Meanwhile they always manage to preserve the jobs of all the public sector workers who feed their re-election coffers.
They really must think that the rest of us are just plain rock stupid. And given the fact that Mr. Brown was just elected, perhaps they have a point.
After all, Mr. Brown has his priorities. He is not a monster like Gov. Scott Walker. Better the poor, sick and elderly suffer than one public sector union worker get their hair mussed.
By the way, how much of California’s $26 billion dollar deficit would disappear if Mr. Brown would cut off any and all state support for illegal aliens? — Just kidding. That will never happen.
They vote — and vote Democrat
Congratulations to the Los Angeles Times. They got the exact message Mr. Brown wanted to get out both in the headline and the lead.
In major cuts, Gov. Jerry Brown slashes services for poor, sick and elderly

Gov. Jerry Brown signed into law billions of dollars in budget cuts Thursday that will mean fewer government services, particularly for the old, the poor and the sick.
But honestly, is there anything more obvious than a Democrat politician? This is what Democrats always do. They make the most painful, the most heart-rending cuts first. Meanwhile they always manage to preserve the jobs of all the public sector workers who feed their re-election coffers.
They really must think that the rest of us are just plain rock stupid. And given the fact that Mr. Brown was just elected, perhaps they have a point.
The governor signed the new laws to tackle $11.2 billion of the state’s estimated $26-billion deficit, even as he scrambled to find Republican support for the other half of his budget plan: a ballot measure asking voters’ blessing to renew expiring taxes…Again, this is right out of the Democrat playbook. Insist that your ‘painful’ budget cuts are matched with an equal increase in taxes. And when the dust settles, the tax increases survive.
State officials will now begin notifying many Californians that their government benefits are to be cut within 90 days — at just about the start of the new budget year. Come July, welfare grants will be reduced by 8%, and parents will be kicked off the rolls after four years instead of the current five.Oh, the humanity. Hopefully, the "parents" will have enough children to make up for this terrible blow.
Assistance for the elderly and disabled, in their homes and at senior centers, will also be reduced. State-subsidized child care for 11- and 12-year-olds will be eliminated.Notice there are no details about how many paper pushers will lose their jobs. Nor is there any word on any state employee even being asked to chip in just a little for their lavish health insurance or pensions.
After all, Mr. Brown has his priorities. He is not a monster like Gov. Scott Walker. Better the poor, sick and elderly suffer than one public sector union worker get their hair mussed.
Brown sought to use the "painful" cuts he signed to make his case that Republicans should support the plan to ask voters to pay more taxes to bridge the remaining shortfall.Never forget, it is always about raising taxes – first, last and always.
"It’s going to be much, much worse if we cannot get the vote of the people and the tax extensions," Brown said…
By the way, how much of California’s $26 billion dollar deficit would disappear if Mr. Brown would cut off any and all state support for illegal aliens? — Just kidding. That will never happen.
They vote — and vote Democrat
