California just failed at passing 6 measures that could have helped to save the budget crisis. Today on the coverage, many lawmakers (our governor included) described this as the people haven spoken (less than 25% of the people but you know). What are the people saying? Apparently that "People don't cut their food during these times, they cut their HBO" or "While people are selling their motorcycles, boats and second homes, California needs to do the same." As an employee of the hardest hit area in this budget crisis- education- I feel like I could make some better comparisons for the budget cuts coming.
1. These budget cuts will be like trying to feed a family of 1000 with food for 10.
2. These budget cuts are like having to make the choice between medicine to live or food to live.
3. The California budget is down to cutting all meat and dairy from the budget. Luckily produce grows year round here or it would be a long winter.
4. California has as much money as it has water.
5. California's education system will look like a jail by the time the new cuts come in- overcrowded and useless.
6. This round of cuts is like cutting the crotch out of your shorts.
Yeah, stop thinking that money is boundless California and realize you've truly screwed yourselves over.
