Governors CalWorks Cuts Leave Massive Hole in Safety Net, Doesnt Solve Financial Crisis

(Sacramento) At a capitol news conference Budget Conference Committee Chair Noreen Evans (D-Santa Rosa) said eliminating the states safety net, as the Governor originally proposed, is a threat to the future of millions who depend on the programs to find jobs and care for their families. And Assemblymember Evans added the Governors reform proposals will not address the states immediate cash crisis. At the same news conference Assemblymember Jim Beall (D-San Jose), Chair of the Assembly Human Services Committee, pointed out the Governors proposed massive cuts to CalWorks will end up costing local governments millions of dollars and cost the state billions of dollars in federal funds.

Distracting the public with CalWORKs reform and IHSS fraud reminds me of the nine year old kid at the lunch table who yells and points, "Look over there!! Look over there!! What's that?" When everyone looks, the spoiled brat swipes all the cupcakes.

I agree with the two Assembly speakers. I disagree with 4sureJT and I resent the foul language. I am fed up with this anti-tax I don't care about anybody else but me attitude. I believe a society is judged on how it takes care of its underprivileged. It also amazes me that we can spend billions of tax payer money bailing out Wall St and supporting a disastrous war in Iraq but when it comes to raising taxes for health and education we are accused of being overspending liberals.
