The neonazi socialist state of California is imploding. The state officially expects an income of $285bn with a deficit of $58bn(https://lao.ca.gov/Publications/Report/4850) deficit, and with expects cuts it will be around $45 bn, roughly 20% shortfall.

Officials state that "costs have ballooned over the last 5 years" and nobody knows why, well, besides people fleeing the state causing negative population growth for 4 years, and a historic volume of illegal immigration

In his budget revisions earlier this months, Newsom proposed trimming state operations -- cuts to nearly all department budgets -- by nearly 8% to save approximately $3 billion a year to deal with an estimated $45 billion budget deficit. In addition the administration wants to achieve $762.5 million in savings by eliminating 10,000 now-vacant state jobs. The cuts to state operations would build on a December budget letter Newsom’s Department of Finance sent to all state departments and agencies that enacted a current year budget freeze in anticipation of the looming deficit. The freeze, among other items, included prohibiting departments from entering into new contracts or agreements, halting discretionary and non-essential IT purchases, unless related to a critical security needs, and canceling non-essential travel.

Furthermore, “We think there is a high risk that the level of savings assumed” from the proposed reduction measures “will not fully materialize in 2024-25,” the Legislative Analyst’s Office says in its new budget and policy post. “To the extent that savings do not materialize, this proposal would create a larger future budget challenge.”

In another analysis, the Legislative Analyst’s Office estimated last week that the administration is addressing a larger budget gap than what it reported in its recently revised spending plan and contends with a $55 billion shortfall.
