It Might Get Ugly...

No new taxes, but big welfare cuts in Schwarzenegger's California budget plan

If the budget cuts that Govenor Schwarzenegger wants to implement goes into effect, you will see rioting in the streets like we say in Greece and what we are seeing in Thiland now. He is proposing cuts to the welfare program and child care for the poor. These people will be hungry and won't have anyplace for their children to go when (or if) they are trying to work. The cuts proposed will also freeze funding for schools which will raise the cackles of teachers, school administrators and parents. We will here things like...we don't have enough money to keep schools open, we don't have enough money to run after-school or early-school programs, we don't have enough money for the free lunch program...etc. There will also be cuts of 60% state money to fund mental health programs which will hurt those suffering from true mental health issues. The plan also cuts further state workers pay.

Any way you look at this it is not pretty. Even if only some of those cuts go into place, it will still cause an uproar. More state will be facing these types of actions.

Keep you eyes open....
