California May Get What It's Asking For
Oh, boy, guess who's back? It's Jerry Brown, trying for a second run at being the Governor of California. Ain't it wonderful? And at 71 years of age, too!
Hey, Jerry, the employment rate in California is... 12%? Why don't you make room for somebody UNDER retirement age? Be generous for once.
Right now, our the people of California pay over 4 BILLION dollars a year total for the average government employees' salary and benefits packages. Labor Unions have pressured these increases over the years until California has the highest paid government employees in the U.S. Jerry Brown is being heavily funded by Labor Unions who don't want to see bloated salaries and platinum benefits packages for their members affected.
Unions are supposed to be "spokesmen for the average worker", but they don't give a tinker's damn about the average workers, who just had their taxes raised 10% to pay for this kind of crap. Jerry Brown will be their sockpuppet.
The average cost to house a prisoner in California is now $49,000.00 a year. A big piece of that is the 33% salary increase Governor Gray Davis gave to prison employees in exchange for campaign donations from their Labor Unions. Davis also shut down 5 privately run prisons that threatened the unions' monopoly. Jerry Brown will be a sockpuppet for these unions.
Education in California is costing California taxpayers 40% of the State General Fund, and in some places spending per pupil is between $15000.00 and $20000.00 per year. Yet California schools are among the worst 10% in the U.S. Teachers' Unions fight tooth-and-nail to keep schools from being run by private entities or from becoming charter schools because they don't want to lose the union dues. California students are losing out because of the protection of mediocrity that Teachers' Unions are guilty of. Jerry Brown will be their sockpuppet.
The farmers of California Central Valley have suffered huge revenue losses because environmentalists have cut off a major part of their water supply, thanks to environmentalist groups. The issue is an "engangered species" of fish called the Delta Smelt. Yet stopping the pumps in the Sacramento River Delta that supplied the Central Valley hasn't helped improve the fish populations. Nonetheless, the losses of billions of dollars and 60,000 jobs have left the Central Valley one of the most economically depressed areas of California, with communities reporting 80% unemployment and businesses shutting down due to loss of revenue. While Brown may claim to lead an effort to build a "peripheral canal" that will provide water from the Sacramento Delta to Central and Southern California, he will NOT issue an executive order to turn on the pumps, because Jerry Brown is an environmentalist sockpuppet.
Jerry Brown as Attorney General is going after Medical Insurance Providers like Blue Cross because they are increasing the cost of their premiums. Brown doesn't care that DOCTORS and HOSPITALS are increasing the fees they charge for services, possibly to make up for the losses they suffer due to Medi-cal, Medicare, and other governmrnt programs, which are the largest sources for underpayment on medical services. I guess it's okay for GOVERNMENT employees to make big salaries and retire on 90% of their last salaries until they die. But if a DOCTOR, who owns a quarter million dollars worth of debt as soon as he graduates from medical school, and also pays HUGE malpractice insurance premiums, tries to make more than a modest living, he's a greedy pig who only cares about his wallet. Jerry brown will do nothing but drive insurance providers out of California and push everybody towards a Universal Healthcare System in California, because he's a Left-Wing Socialist sockpuppet.
Jerry Brown wants more "green energy" in California. He wants it so bad, that he stopped the nuclear power plant at Diablo Canyon in San Luis Obispo from bringing 2 of its 4 reactors online. The SLO power plant has been running reliably and providing CLEAN, EMISSION-FREE power for over 25 years. Brown wants us on solar panels and windmills. The problem here is, wind and solar have only 1/4 of the efficiency of nuclear power when the weather is good. Also, taxpayers subsidize "green energy" at 15 times what they subsidize nuclear power. Ironically, a nuclear power plant can pay for itself in 5 years. Wind and solar pay for themselves in 10 to 20 years if the systems hold up long enough. Jerry Brown doesn't care. He'll be doing all he can to get rid of fossil fuels in California, and enslaving the taxpayer to power generation systems that can't pay for themselves without tying up lots of EVERYBODY's money. That's because Jerry Brown is a Green Energy Sockpuppet.
California's economy is in the crapper, and little is being done to improve the business climate here. Do we need another Liberal Democrat 3-time Loser Sockpuppet giving us more of the same?
