Last week California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced that his state is facing a $12 billion budget deficit.

As has become the habit for every blue-state governor in trouble, he pinned the blame on President Donald Trump.

But the real reason California is in a hole is its unprecedented levels of social-service spending, especially on illegal immigrants.

Unless the state is willing to reform its budget-busting welfare programs, California, like its blue-state brethren New York and New Jersey, will face perpetual fiscal woes.

Newsom claimed that “California is under assault” from Washington, and that a “Trump slump” from tariffs and other federal policies will cause its fiscal shortfall.
