Comments on: California Budget Problem Is Partisanship- Not The 2/3 Rule! http://www.policyreport.net/2008/09/california-budget-problem-is-partisanship-not-the-23-rule/ California Public Policy Debate and Analysis Fri, 12 Mar 2010 03:42:36 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Mike http://www.policyreport.net/2008/09/california-budget-problem-is-partisanship-not-the-23-rule/comment-page-1/#comment-15 Mike Wed, 17 Dec 2008 17:11:37 +0000 http://thepolicyreport.wordpress.com/?p=215#comment-15 I can't believe that the budget doubled from 1998 to 2008 and that they democrats can't find ways to cut spending. The taxpayers are hurting in this economy and all they want to do is find creative new ways to raise taxes. Did anyones wages go from $58,000 a year in 98 to $106,000 in 2008? That is the tax bump these politicians have burdened the California citizens with. What a joke these politicians are taxing and spending other peoples money. They are worried about school funding decreasing. How about counting the American citizen children that we are educating and then counting the total number of kids in the schools. The difference in those numbers is where the savings lie. My tax dollars are going to educate foreign nationals. I work hard and the democrats take my money and force me to educate non-American children. Unlike Michelle Obama, for the first time in my adult life I am not proud of America.

The Challenge allows you to create your own version of the state budget-deciding what to spend and what to tax. You can then alert your legislators and the governor of the policy choices you made. It's a great way to learn about the trade-offs involved. Try it! www.next10.org/challenge To learn more about California’s budget-making process try the California Budget Challenge.
