Even More Budget Cuts On The Way

By Rick McClure

Public education in California is moving from crisis to catastrophe. In the last three years our K-12 schools and higher education institutions have seen their budgets cut by more than $20 billion. That's nearly $3,000 per K-12 student. Even with these cuts, California is facing a budget deficit this year of $25 billion.

The governor has proposed a budget that would keep K-12 funding stable, but that budget depends upon the extension of taxes temporarily put in place two years ago. Without that extension, K-12 funding may be facing another $5 billion in cuts next fall.

In the last three years, more than 40,000 California teachers, nurses, librarians, counselors and support staff have been laid off. This has resulted in higher class sizes and less support for our students. Many school districts have shortened the school year by five days. Another $5 billion in cuts will mean even more teachers and support staff will be laid off and the school year will be shortened even more, perhaps to as few as 150 days.

Just look at what some local districts are doing to prepare for this kind of budget. In Fontana the school board has voted to completely eliminate counselors. Imagine high schools that don't have counselors to help our students prepare for college admission, or even worse to assist students facing a personal crisis of some sort. Most districts in our area have increased class sizes. Where K-3 classes three years ago were at 20:1, it is now common to have a ratio of 30:1. In our middle and high schools it's not uncommon to have class size ratios over 40:1.

Schools in California have issued layoff notices to another 20,000 teachers this year. If the governor's budget is approved with the extension of the taxes he's seeking, many of those layoffs will be rescinded. What will happen if his budget isn't approved and schools face another $5 billion cut? The same number of students will be coming to school next year either way. If we lose another 20,000 teachers that means they will be going to classrooms even more crowded than they are now.

Even worse than the scenario I've painted so far is that many school districts will probably be forced into insolvency with a cut that big. We have districts in California that are already on the brink of bankruptcy. Fontana Unified is one of them.

The San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools has already appointed a retired school business official to help Fontana Unified deal with a very real financial problem. A further reduction of funding the size we may be facing here could very well push the district into bankruptcy.

They are unlikely to be alone.

We face a choice here in California. We can have a school system that will receive for the first time in three years about the same funding as the year before, or we can have a system that takes another huge hit pushing some districts into bankruptcy, and all of them into higher class sizes and fewer services for our students. Crisis or catastrophe. The choice is ours.

Comment:

Comrades, how much more can they cut? California's schools are ranked 49th worst out of 50 states. That's not bad, it's criminal. Our kids are being cheated of their future. Remember, I was a part of this system, so I know of what I speak.

We have massive budget cuts, huge influxes of non-White immigrant children, dumbing down of the curriculum, larger class sizes, and a growing school population in general. Over-crowding, rising crime in our schools, not to mention the Judeo-Capitalist brainwashing that goes on. Schools have always been one of the prime ways of indoctrinating our children into ZOG's way of thinking. They are turning our kids into nice little wage-slave robots who never question what's politically correct. And even most of the few who do are afraid to say anything about it out of fear of being called a racist.

Until we can affect some major change and turn these conveyor belts to conformity into true institutions of learning, I urge all decent White working parents to pull your children out of public schools and home school them. Believe me, they will be better off. They'll get a better education, they'll be safer, and you will have more control and be more aware of all the Jewish/Politically Correct propaganda that they're trying to feed our kids. Oh sure, they may still be required to learn all of the lies, but at least you will be fully aware of what they are learning, and be able to explain the truth to them. That way they can pass their courses, and still be taught the truth.

As the song says, "I believe that children are the future. Teach them well and let them lead the way."

With the politically correct lies they're being taught these days, is it a wonder they're turning out all screwed up? If they continue to be taught these lies, they will lead themselves and their elderly (which will one day be us) to utter destruction at the hands of our enemies.

Home school them. If we National Socialists teach them well, then at least they will have a chance.

Governor Clown's New Budget Plan

By JULIET WILLIAMS
Associated Press

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) -- Gov. Jerry Brown said Monday he will ask a deeply divided California electorate to decide what they want from state government and how much they are willing to pay for it, bringing the state's fiscal crisis home to every Californian.

In unveiling the first spending plan of his administration, the Democratic governor called for personal sacrifices from every citizen while deep cuts are made to programs that many hold dear, such as universities, community colleges and medical care for the poor.

He also intends to ask residents to extend for five years a series of temporary sales, income and vehicle license taxes or risk a "drastic breakdown" in state government.

"Here's the problem: We're very divided ... My job is to find some common core here that we can agree on," Brown said. "I'm just going to lay out the facts. Whatever they decide, obviously will be the will."

His budget projects the deficit at $25.4 billion over the next 18 months.

To close it, Brown called for $12.5 billion in spending cuts, including reductions in welfare, social services and higher education, as well as $12 billion in funding shifts and new revenue if voters agree to extend taxes.

Brown also is seeking to fundamentally restructure state government, shifting a host of responsibilities, from incarcerating low-level offenders to providing foster care, to local governments.

Brown said his spending plan for the fiscal year that begins July 1 is intended to end the state's continual deficits and balance the budget for the next several years without borrowing money to do so.

"It's better to take our medicine now and get the state on a balanced footing," Brown told reporters in releasing his plan.

Among the hardest hit areas would be recipients of Medi-Cal, the state's health insurance program for the poor. Doctors' visits would be capped at 10 per year, a $5 office co-payment and a $50 emergency room co-payment would be added, and there would be caps on the annual benefits for items such as hearing aids and medical equipment. Brown also is seeking to eliminate the adult day health care program that serves about 27,000 Californians.

Community college fees, among the lowest in the nation, would increase to $36 per unit from $26, and colleges would lose about $400 million in funding.

He said the only area of state spending he would protect is K-12 education, but that assumes voters approve the tax extensions. If they do not, or if the Legislature fails to muster the two-thirds vote needed to place the question on the ballot, cuts will be even deeper, Brown said, hinting that schools could be hard hit.

The governor wants the Legislature to call a special election in June to ask for tax extensions that are due to expire this year. The move would likely require some support from Republican lawmakers because of the two-thirds rule on tax increases. They were quick to reject the idea.

"There are not votes in the Assembly Republican Caucus to place the same tax increases that voters overwhelmingly rejected less than two years ago back on the ballot," said Minority Leader Connie Conway, R-Tulare. "Californians have sent a strong message at the polls that they want Sacramento to make government live within its means."

So why not leave it to voters to decide?

"I think it's the responsibility of the legislators who are here to vote and that's what we intend to do," said Assemblyman Jim Nielsen, R-Yuba City, vice chairman of the Assembly Budget Committee.

Voters rejected an extension of those taxes in May 2009 as part of a complicated series of measures placed on the ballot by the Legislature and Schwarzenegger, whose popularity was plummeting at the time.

Senate President Pro Tem Darrel Steinberg, D-Sacramento, said Brown's proposed cuts to state programs include many social safety net provisions that Democrats hold dear.

"The $12 billion expenditure reductions is an exchange for the privilege of asking the people to decide whether or not they want these taxes extended for five years," he said.

Brown acknowledged that Republican lawmakers will be hesitant to support the ballot measure but said he was confident he could get enough support to push ahead with the special election.

He also said he expected help from a number of interest groups representing business, labor, education and community associations.

"I think there are a significant number of people who have an open mind," Brown said. "I think people will want to defend and protect California as they have come to understand it."

The tax extensions will be coupled with deep cuts to a state government that already has sustained years of recession-induced reductions.

Hundreds of people from various unions, community organizations and activist groups held rallies outside the state Capitol in Sacramento and the governor's office in Los Angeles, protesting the proposed cuts.

Leo Perez, 34, of Los Angeles, who suffers from multiple sclerosis and uses a wheelchair, held a sign reading, "I am human."

He said he fears losing funding from the state's in-home supportive services program that helps pay for things like grab bars so he can move around the bathroom.

"The state's been bankrupt but (IHSS funding) is going to save the state money," he said.

Brown's cuts and restructuring also include eliminating redevelopment agencies and ending tax breaks available to businesses that operate in depressed areas designated as enterprise zones. Counties would also monitor parolees, keep low-level offenders in county facilities rather than state prisons, and take over child welfare services like adoptions and foster care.

If voters approve, revenue generated by the sales tax and vehicle license fees would go to local governments to help pay for the changes, but it is unclear where the money would come from when the taxes would end in five years.

The shift in responsibilities to local governments could also lead to massive job losses at the state level - as many as 4,000 jobs in corrections and hundreds in health and human services, Brown's budget proposal said.

The governor also is seeking an 8 to 10 percent cut in pay for state workers who aren't covered by union-negotiated contracts, which he said would save the state about $308 million.

That actually could be an improvement for some state employees who currently are furloughed three days a month, said Patrick Whalen, general counsel for California Attorneys, Administrative Law Judges and Hearing Officers in State Employment, one of six unions operating without a contract.

Brown also wants a $1 billion rainy day fund.

Brown is proposing an $84.6 billion general fund budget, slightly less than the $86.5 billion adopted under former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's last budget.

The state's general fund revenue comes largely from sales, income and corporate taxes.

Comment:

I do agree with the Governor when he says California must live within its means. The first thing he needs to do is to deny ANY and ALL social services to illegals. If he does that, then we can talk about cutting services to the truly needy and disabled.

How's about we cut the salaries of elected officials and big shot appointees? How's about cutting their expense accounts? That's never going to happen. These fat cats will cut healthcare to the disabled, but they won't take a pay cut, even though most of them have private business interests and could well afford such reductions.

One good thing about the new budget is it will force the leeches to get off of their asses and get a job.

We do need to make painful budget cuts. But I fear that the wrong things will be cut. By that I mean services to the working class. In this rotten society, we're the ones who always get the shaft. The upper class will continue to live off the lower classes. That's the way it is. That's the way it always has been. That's the way it always will be unless we, through National Socialism, knock down their Ivory Towers, and return control of the government to the people.

Now much of this will have to be voted on by the people, however, the average Californian has demonstrated that he has as much political knowledge and common sense as lemmings rushing towards the precipice. At this point, budget wise that is, all we can do is wait and hope for the best. Of course we all know it will be the worst. Our system is beyond repair. If Governor Clown can improve things slightly, it will only be a temporary fix. Sooner or later the walls will come crashing down. Personally, I'd prefer sooner. The sooner it happens, the sooner we can start again from scratch. Hopefully by then, White America will be so desperate and outraged, that they will be willing to give National Socialism a fair chance.

Comrades, I urge all registered California voters, even if you no longer vote, to go to the polls, IF they have a special election, and vote NO on the tax hikes. More taxes are like putting a band aid on a gaping wound. It won't stop the inevitable final collapse of the government, it will merely postpone it. Better to get it over with now so we can begin again anew.

Better to get it over with now so we can begin again anew.

California Budget Cuts

Well, California has gotten a little taste of what Governor Clown, I mean Brown has planned for us. For starters, he plans on cutting medical benefits. Now the leeches who play the system will be SOL. But what about the disabled who are on disability insurance? What are they supposed to do for health care? They can't afford private insurance, and since they are disabled, they need health care more than the able-bodied. I guess they'll be stuck going to to the emergency rooms at county hospitals with all the illegal aliens. Absolutely disgraceful, which brings me to another point.

Governor Clown said these cuts would be painful, because California just can't afford it anymore. But he didn't say one thing about cutting benefits for illegals, just citizens and legal immigrants. Of course, we haven't heard the whole budget story yet, just bits and pieces. Maybe he will stop the gravey train for the illegals. I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't though. Here in California, with a 60% Mestizo majority, the politicians are all afraid to offend the Mexican community. After all, we have to keep those sources of near slave labour healthy and ready to take the jobs of American citizens - especially the kind that DON'T speak Spanish, if you get my meaning.

Chairman Suhayda said in his latest ANP report that things would not improve this year, but would continue to deteriorate. California is already proving him right again. We'll find out how badly by next week. The full story on the new budget will be released next Monday. Hopefully, I'll have a lot more to report then.

With all the cuts Brown has been making, I hope that includes the stupid bullet train the previous administration was planning. Yeah, you heard me. With California broke and sinking fast, those idiots in Sacramento thought that a bullet train from San Diego to San Francisco with a stop in Los Angeles was a good idea. With times being so hard, we need a bullet train in California as much as we need a bullet in the head. I will admit, a bullet train would be nice, but right now it's simply cost prohibitive. There are more important things to spend state money on than a stupid train.

Comrades, this is exactly the kind of nonsense we wouldn't have to deal with in a National Socialist state. We've all heard the jokes that the one good thing the Nazis did was make the trains run on time, but before we build anything new, we need to fix what we already have.
