No can do.

According to dems on Twitter, any life is worth more than 54.3 billion dollars.

When my bills are more than my income, I have to cut back on my bills. By spending less, I find that things equal out.

If a neighbor is squatting in a house and I try to pay all of his bills, we are all fooked.

Since Nancy Pelosi is the senator from Cali, i would like to know what she can do to help instead of bringing nothing to the table but going after Trump

Bitch, please! I’m much less unhappy when I’m sulking on the back of my yacht, in my own private jet, or by the pool of my tony beach front home, than the guy whose sulking in his trailer park. Or from his shitty apartment in a crappy neighborhood.

Material possessions have nothing to do with the type of person you are.

But it’s much easier to suffer when you can pick and afford where And how you spend your time being miserable .

We were never in debt under Jindal dumbass. Our constitution requires that the budget be balanced every year. DumBel will use the Covid and oil prices cratering to jam through more tax increases.

Need to repeal Prop 13.


That would lead to massive spikes in property taxes which in turn will cause a bigger wave of foreclosures than 2008.

Have they considered paring down wasteful spending on non-essential leftist religious things like plastic straw removal task force, recycling separation patrols, or Gavin Newsom's salary? And I can guarantee there are more than a couple million dollars tied up in departments entirely devoted to their special sanctuary causes (any of the identity politics groups should give you a start).

Get your house in order, then let's look at the remaining deficit.

How the hell do you rack up that much in a state deficit? I thought Louisiana was bad under Jindal when we were only a couple billion in debt.


Sanctuary Cities, State Pensions, Municipal corruption - just off the top of my head....

So they want to move their $54b debt to the feds so the whole country can pay for their decisions?

Every state is going to be like this, because every state shut everything down and is STILL fricking shutdown.
And we thought Owlie's "Government is going to shut down for two weeks" thread back in February was retarded. It's been shut down for two MONTHS and counting.
frick this. Open the shite back up.

It would put property taxes at a level where they should be.

Louisiana absolutely has debt. A state can absolutely carry debt, even with a balanced budget.

What did everyone think was going to happen when we stopped all sales tax, income tax, etc., for a large number of the population?


And yet, people will STILL use our current situation to support socialist programs. That is how you know they don’t understand those programs are funded, and rely upon, by people working.

They most assuredly know. They just don't care.

California has 163 billionaires and over 1 million millionaires.

They should do what they preach everyone should do: steal money from their rich to pay for their reckless spending.

They should absolutely not come crawling to tax payers in other states to pay for their bullshite.
