This. Governor Newsom is a true leader.[/quote]

He lead his state into a huge  25 billion dollar budget deficit!  Maybe paying for healthcare and free college for millions of illegals was not a such a great
Idea?

Yeah, no.  Not so great.

Oh wait you think budget deficits are bad? [/quote]

DP.
No, Newsom is not a "true leader."  He took his state from a nearly $100 billion surplus to a nearly $50 billion deficit.  That is NOT leadership.  
He is like a used car salesman.  Talks a good game.  Looks slick.  But, will sell you a lemon in a hot second.  
Actually, Newsom gives used car salesmen a bad name.

[b]How California’s bursting budget morphed into a $45 billion deficit in just two years[/b]
https://calmatters.org/commentary/2024/05/california-budget-surplus-became-deficit/
The much-revised 2024-25 state budget that Gov. Gavin Newsom released last week contains hundreds of spending reductions and other actions to close what he says is a $44.9 billion deficit.

Exactly two years earlier, Newsom boasted as the state enjoyed a $97.5 billion budget surplus, thanks to surging revenues from the post-pandemic economic recovery.

“No other state in American history has ever experienced a surplus as large as this,” Newsom said as he unveiled a revised $300 billion 2022-23 budget, which was $14 billion higher than his original proposal.

The budget he signed a month later was even larger, $307 billion, with immense new commitments, including cash payments to poor families and expansions of health care and early childhood education.

So, one must wonder, how did a $97.5 billion surplus morph into a huge deficit and a budget that is pulling back much of the new spending Newsom and the Legislature had so eagerly approved?
