Blue-state blues: Gavin Newsom busted Cali’s budget on migrants — and NY, NJ will soon follow

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.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Mass is closing down Emergency Shelters early because the Orange One's immigration policies are having the desired effect.

We still don't know what the final bill will cost, but they are hiding that on purpose.
