Californians could receive billions in tax rebates later this year as the state’s budget surplus continues to explode.
State Senate leaders on Thursday released an extensive wish list for spending the windfall — now estimated to be as high as $68 billion. That staggering figure is the high end of a projection from the nonpartisan Legislative Analyst’s Office, which in January put the number far lower, at $29 billion.
Imagine that - the state collected so much revenue they can’t figure out anything else to spend it on.
Cali has other issues besides a money issue. Regulations being one of them
Man, those poop and needles pay their taxes and then some!
Ranked against other countries, it has the 5th largest economy. How do some people not understand that that shuts down any standard anti-left bumper sticker one could slap on CA?

How come they keep leaving CA for Texas then?

It's called economic success something that is lost to the right lately. They are focused on growing the Govt. and mooching off it.Imagine that - the state collected so much revenue they can’t figure out anything else to spend it on.
If I'm wrong, let 'em. I'm not invested in CA specifically.
But CA is undeniably a powerhouse and that's why it can set national policy.
Cali should put that to desalinization. They're gonna need it.California's budget surplus has exploded to $68B
Lawmakers are eagerly preparing a wishlist for the estimated windfall.www.politico.com

Hello, what's this? Record setting budget surplus? From California?
For whatever reason, California seems to often be a punching bag for Republicans & Conservatives, who claim California is everything wrong with America.
However, it would seem in terms of balancing their budget - California may be among the best in the nation.
It looks like the continuous stories of California going broke, are just that - stories!
This is a particularly bizarre sour grapes argument. There isn't state in the union that wouldn't be proud to be turning a profit rather than drowning in debt. This is nothing more than jealousy of the most successful state in the country (well, if not for the unfortunate climate change problem, which isn't its fault).It's has a bunch of big money industries surrounded by a giant dumpster fire.
It's like saying that your apartment complex is sucess because it's worth $20 million but 9 of the tenants make $50,000 and one make $19.5 million
Would be kinda nice if they spent some of it on affordable housingCalifornia's budget surplus has exploded to $68B

Why doesn't everybody own a Karma GSe-6 or a Porsche Taycan?How come they keep leaving CA for Texas then?

Not possible. Conservatives have told us for decades about the economic demise of California. We get reminded of this regularly. Everyone is moving out. All businesses too.California's budget surplus has exploded to $68B

Brother, I live in California, born and raised here. And if we are doing so great, then why are the streets of our cities full of vagrant drug camps. You can't drive 100 yards on our freeways near large cities without seeing tons of graffiti. Crime is out of control, especially petty crime. We have the highest gas prices in the nation, our power grid is constantly on the verge of collapse. Sacramento law makers whine about drought and lack of water, but then allow trillions of gallons of water to go out into the ocean for fear upsetting some snails or fish.California's budget surplus has exploded to $68B

"California is bad, and my proof is that so many people want to live here!"Brother, I live in California, born and raised here.

The best thing about California is the weather and the natural wonders of the coastline, mountains, and deserts. The worst thing about California is the very liberal law makers you are seemingly congratulating here.
The way you need to look at it is how much better might the 5th largest economy in the world be if our state was not wasting time on stupid legisislation rather than allowing business and the people to be all we could be? People are leaving this state in droves, and guess who is replacing them? 1) very wealthy Chinese backed by China buying everything up. 2) all the homeless from accross the country, 3) illegal aliens who are living 2-3 families per house so they can afford it.
That's not what I'm saying..JesusIf I'm wrong, let 'em. I'm not invested in CA specifically. But CA is undeniably a powerhouse and that's why it can set national policy.
Did someone say all regulations are good? No.
CA --> Librul --> Regulation --> Regulation bad = pretty ****ing stupid
No wonder people just about never explain how it is that X regulation caused Y thing and A regulation wouldn't. It's not about the analysis. It's about the bumper sticker.
In SoCal just driving in LA you can see the shit storm that was created by « THEIR » leftist policies. Hell, you can go to redondo beach, Venice beach, Torrance, Long Beach, Anaheim, etc etc…anything got better ? We not even talking about the BS in NorCal…Brother, I live in California, born and raised here. And if we are doing so great, then why are the streets of our cities full of vagrant drug camps.
