You would not believe it from the lamestream media, but this is the middle of January, not October 31.
To people losing homes and jobs due to incompetence and corruption in Sacramento, these scares tactics will backfire on the $50 billion tax increase Brown is trying to get.
For example of the Halloween tactics, " * We can become the first state to drop Medicaid, a $17.5 billion medical insurance program that serves nearly eight million Californians who are poor, children, the elderly and/or disabled. More than one-third of the state's children alone are supported by this program which receives an additional $20 billion plus from the federal government. Doing away with the program would just about solve the budget gap, but what happens to the eight million with no safety net?
* We can cut the size of the state employee workforce, which currently costs about $10 billion annually. Reducing the workforce by 25 percent would save $2.5 billion. Of course, who goes--CHP officers? Firefighters? Department of Transportation personnel? By the way, California already ranks 49th in the number of state workers per capita. Then, again, if you've been to the DMV lately, you probably have sensed that."
These are sick people who refuse to recognize that Californians are over taxed, over regulated and scare tactics will just make folks angry.
