Politicians hate facts. Now they are claiming YOU are at fault for the over $130 billion in debt and currently over $20 billion in deficit. Why, because you voted for ballot measures promoted by Democrats, like Prop; 98.
"Nevertheless, a 2003 analysis by John G. Matsusaka, president of the Initiatives and Referendum Institute at the University of Southern California, found that no more than a third of California's appropriations that year were locked in by voter initiatives so stringent that legislators couldn't override them. Most of the appropriations about $30 billion in 2003were for Proposition 98, which passed in 1988 and mandates funding for K-12 education."
In fact, without Prop. 98, only a minor portion of the budget is to pay back bonds.
This is why we need adults in Sacramento. The current crop of mediocre kids refuses to take responsibility for their spending and budget votes.
