"California’s $100 billion surplus: What to know about Newsom’s spending plan" - May 12, 2022

"The massive windfall that the state is sitting on, coupled with the state’s progressive tax system is a sign of “the concentration of wealth and success in the hands of a few that are enjoying abundance in historic and unprecedented ways,” Newsom said. “I am proud of California’s progressive tax system…and we’re the beneficiary of that.”

Exactly one year ago they had nearly 100bn surplus?? What happened?? Oh yea, they left out they were being propped up by payoffs from their cronies in D.C.

Oh yea... Democrats... just a fucking money laundering scheme all the way around.

Can't make this shit up.

Too lazy to go looking, but I'm 99.9999999999999999% sure that Seran was bragging about this "surplus" and what a great governor Newsom was at some point last year.
