I just read in our local paper that we (California)
have a 95 billlon dollar surplus. Good Democrat government. I see many projects all over the state fixing roads and other state construction

How much of that so called surplus is from the fed?? :whatever:

A state that has been running a billion + budget deficit every year for the last 30 years all of a sudden has a $95 billion surplus?
:confused:
Either the Commiefornia department of treasury is cooking the books more blatantly than usual these days, or the latest crop of drooling imbeciles just graduated from the UC journalism schools are even more hobbled by Common Core math than previous crops of j-school morons.
Or both, of course... :whatever: :popcorn: :stoner:

Serious question: What about California's 'good democratic party governance' gave them this surplus?
-
roads and infrastructure? When has California EVER spent money wisely?
-
Of course there's that hundreds of billions of dollars in unfunded pensions for state employees that needs addressed; it might be a trillion dollars by now.

The federal government funding to help out during the peak of the Chinese Wuhan Red Death funding, which gave states enough cash to continue operating. And as I see Frank mentioned, even Illinois and other leftist states are suffering from deficit problems, due to "stealing" from their state pension funds.
Not that I would expect a DUmmy or any lib-turd to understand this. They're all ****ing economic dolts, and couldn't recognize a statement of cash flows, a balance sheet nor an income statement. Economic concepts are as foreign to them as actually seeing their nether regions.

The several state-run pension funds are probably under-funded by double or triple that amount, but pension funds are a different set of books ... or will be until one or more becomes insolvent. This is an open secret to CA'ians who have paid at least minimal attention to several decades of Sacramento's budgetary shenanigans.

I figured that the Internet seems to have a picture or graphic for everything, so I DDGed "cooking the books" and chose what I liked from the Images tab. :-)

I live in Kalifornia. There is no $95 billion surplus. Even the democranazis are only ling that it is $72 billion. and $47 Billion was from the feds in the covid inflation causing bill. It is all lie if you look at the roads/highways. the welfare/poor class. the homeless. All a big fat lie.

This is an example of cooked books. CA state gooberment for decades (since at least the 1970s Meanbeam 1.0 maladministration) has been diverting gas tax and registration fee $$ from the highway building and maintenance it's supposed to fund to "mass transportation" and other money-pit boondoggles. It's been a while since I've driven much outside the SF Bay Area (a couple trips to the Sacramento area and one to Fresno were about it in the past 10 years), but in 2007 our family drove to a nephew's and niece's university graduations in KS. We used I-80 to drive into Nevada, and the difference in the condition of the pavement at the state border was dramatic: CA side chewed to Hades by studded snow tires; NV side smooth and well maintained. The SR17-I880 freeway on which I commute is recently repaved, but had been in very poor condition for 5 or 10 years before that.
