It’s amazing how many people are shitting on a state having a $6 billion surplus like it’s nothing



They’re triggered because it doesn’t fit the narrative of California being a helpless and broke liberal state

No need to balance a budget when you can just raise taxes.

California has high state taxes, in total, including state, property, sales, and fees.

Net migration out of California continues due to the high cost of living.

Short-term solutions, raise taxes, don't fix long-term issues, spending.
