日本＞カリフォルニアのブラン新知事空想の世界 Brown元発言は大分前だが
増税ではなく、コスト削減で乗り切るというのだから
税金に依存して、これまでファンタジー（夢の世界）の中で暮らしてきた教育＆労働関係者にとっては大ショックだというわけだ そして今度は追加の$29billion大削減計画が出たわけだ 日本と同じく、地方財政の破綻は、不動産価格下落の次に、アメリカの経済（雇用）を下押しする要因だな Jerry Brown: California Budget Is "Much Worse Than I Thought -- We've Been Living In Fantasy Land"
Gus Lubin | Dec. 15, 2010, 10:24 AM | 13,362 | comment 114 jerry brown california ag governorYou know it's a bad sign when the outgoing California governor announces a fiscal emergency and everyone ignores him. Now incoming governor Jerry Brown has realized how screwed the state is and he's announcing his own budget emergency, according to the LAT. He said last night: "I'm going to try to get the budget agreements done within about 60 days. I don't think we have a lot of time to waste... It will be a very tough budget, but it will be transparent... We've been living in fantasy land. It is much worse than I thought. I'm shocked." Hear that, last year's $20 billion budget cuts amounted to living in fantasy land. Brown implied he would apply major cuts to the education system and other programs. He also refused to rule out new taxes. And it's got to add up to at least $29 billion in cuts.

Post Jerry Brown: "We've Been Living in Fantasy Land. Budget Much Worse Than I Thought. I'm Shocked."; Cuts Coming, Expect Union Fearmongering
California's "Fantasy Land" budget finally comes to light of day. Jerry Brown says "I'm shocked. The mess is much worse than I thought." Brown promises more cuts but no tax increases without voter approval. Educators and unions were shocked. The LA Times reports Brown wants to fast-track budget agreement within 60 days. Gov.-elect Jerry Brown said Tuesday that he wants to complete a budget agreement within two months of unveiling his budget, an accelerated timeline that would allow a late-spring special election for potential tax increases or other revenue generation. "We'll present a budget on Jan. 10. It will be a very tough budget, but it will be transparent," he said. "We'll lay it out as best I can. We've been living in fantasy land. It is much worse than I thought. I'm shocked." A spokesman later sought to play down the timeline, calling it "an ambitious goal." Brown has refused to publicly discuss his budget plans, but he has met privately with lawmakers and interest groups. People involved in the meetings expect him to enact an austerity budget in the spring, then hold a special election in which voters can decide whether to raise taxes or other revenues in order to restore services. He pledged during the campaign not to increase taxes without voter approval. "This is really a huge challenge, unprecedented in my lifetime," Brown told hundreds of educators, union representatives and parents who had gathered at UCLA. "I can't promise you there won't be more cuts, because there will be." "The day of reckoning is upon us and I'm determined to bite the bullet, get it done in whatever way the consensus of California can be built," he said. "Fair, transparent and enduring ― that's my goal." Expect Union Fearmongering Jerry Brown sounds serious, but does he mean it? The unions are whining already. No doubt they will put every available penny into fearmongering in support of higher taxes. I sure hope the governor puts this to a vote. The most encouraging sign at the conference came from State Treasurer Bill Lockyer who said "So far, I've heard good ideas about how to spend more money. Great. It ain't there. It's time to make cuts, I believe deep cuts. I'd do the 25% across the board and just say those who wanted less government, you're going to get your wish. In other communities that are willing to put something on the ballot to make up that difference, they're going to have a higher service level." Educators were horrified of course. No Meat on the Bones "There is no more meat on this bone to carve, the only thing left is amputation," said David Sanchez, president of the California Teachers' Assn. "If we do what Mr. Grinch wants us to do, the possibility of shutting down schools is a reality. Is that really what we want to do?" Of course there is meat on the bones. Not a single teacher lose their job. All they have to do is grant reasonable concessions on union wages and pension benefits, then rein in absurd administration costs. That's it. Instead they will whine and bitch and moan begging for more handouts from taxpayers. In one sense, David Sanchez is correct. There is no meat on the bones, taxpayer bones. Should it come to a vote, taxpayers should tell David Sanchez and the California Teachers' Association to "Go to hell". By the way, massive state cuts are coming one way or another. The states can do it the proper way and stick it to the public unions, or states can rob taxpayers like they usually do. Either way it will be a hit to the economy. The first way would be a short-term hit for a long-term gain; The second way, raising taxes to fund union greed, would be a long-term disaster. Mike "Mish" Shedlock
