STOP DIGGING!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"NewsomApparently Governor Newsom hasn\u2019t heard that one. In truth a lot of politicians have never heard that one, or met any expensive project they didn\u2019t want to pull out Our wallets<\/strong><\/em> to fund.<\/p>\n

After asking for 3.44 billion last week to provide state services for illegal aliens, he\u2019s asking for 2.8 billion this week to fund Medi-Cal so that the state can provide medical coverage for illegal aliens.<\/p>\n

This is classic Sacramento, and really stupid!<\/p>\n

The simplest solution is the obvious one. Send the illegal aliens packing<\/em><\/span>. Get on the horn to President Trump and request Tom Homan clear California ASAP.<\/p>\n

That would mean admitting that sanctuary policies are wrong-headed even if they\u2019re based in charity and kindness. In truth, I don\u2019t believe there\u2019s anything charitable or kind about California\u2019s sanctuary policies.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I believe it\u2019s about something else, probably to do with money, graft, and corruption. I\u2019d love to see a DOGE like agency rip through the California government.<\/p>\n

Newsom will never admit the policies are wrong, or that they\u2019re driving the state further into debt. Or that the quality of life is degrading in California. Or that none of these expenditures are helping the homeless California American Citizens.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Most of all, Newsom will never admit that perhaps Trump was right in that allowing unlimited illegal aliens is unsustainable<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

Nope, he\u2019ll just keep asking for money. The California legislature will keep adding taxes, then they\u2019ll add hidden taxes (they call fees). Then local taxes with their attendant fees go up, and all the while, a segment of the population gets handouts that citizens don\u2019t get, and aren\u2019t qualified to get no matter their need.<\/p>\n

I recently noticed that my auto registration is over 1\/2 fees. The registration part of the bill, (you know, the actual sticker) is $150. The remainder of the almost $400 bill is a bunch of stuff that goes directly to Sacramento waste and has nothing to do with the registration. Oh, and just for reference none of those fees are tax deductible. The registration portion of the bill ($150) is deductible, but nothing else is.<\/p>\n

I probably wouldn\u2019t be so annoyed except that there are roads here so rough and debris covered that you need a kidney belt and the evasive driving skills of a professional race car driver to navigate.<\/p>\n

Honestly. I understand people wanting to come to America for better lives. I applaud and welcome those folks that come here and work so hard to become citizens.<\/p>\n

But Newsom asking for over 6 billion dollars to support people whose arrival started with a crime. Then continue to require ever increasing funding, while degrading the quality of life for people who are actual citizens, is a hole that can never be filled, and one which we should stop digging deeper.<\/p>\n

Newsom needs to put the damn shovel down.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
