How to close California's budget deficit: check out the BS on this list:

[Hannah Bell]

"Try your hand at closing California's budget shortfall, now estimated at $26.3 billion. It's not easy, but it can be done."

Sure, if you want to:

- Close California's community college system

Christmas for private "technical" & "trade school" operators who charge high fees for crap education provided by low-paid workers.


- Cut support to state universities

Some would go under & those that remain would charge higher fees & cater to the children of the upper-middle & upper who couldn't make the cut at the ivy league.


- End in home service

We should all go into chain nursing homes where the owners rake in the government bucks while H1B aides recruited from the Phillippines get shit for wages & residents die from bedsore infections.


- Eliminate TANF

no safety net for indigent families with children; let them live on the streets.


- Lower Medical payments below federal minimums

low enough so even fewer docs will accept them, that should kill a few more useless eaters.


- end medical services for elderly, disabled, blind etc. legal immigrants who aren't citizens. emergency services only.

see above.


- end all drug treatment, rehab, & vocational programs for prisoners.

that should keep them coming back & the public money rolling into the privatized prison operators' coffers.


- do various illegal things to state workers like stop funding their pensions & health care.

because the minions of the rich never have to fulfill their contracts; responsibility is only for the lowly people.


- end all state-funded drug & alcohol rehab programs

addicts can compete to get on "intervention" if they need treatment


- eliminate the office of emergency services

because california is the safest place in the world; disasters never occur in happy-land


- end all funding for state parks; parks to be funded by user fees

enclaves for the privileged


- more offshore oil drilling

because BP hasn't killed all the world's oceans yet


- end the requirement that new development include 20% low-income housing

california needs more homeless people

how about this: give legislature, governor & all the useless fuckers running the state 365 furlough days, unpaid, eliminate their pensions, health benefits, & perks & give them a free ride to hell.


and send these offshore tax-haven using fucks with them:
