BLUE STATE BLUES: CALIFORNIA DEMS SKIMP ON INFRASTRUCTURE TO PAY UNIONS, ILLEGALS
Fourth-term Governor Jerry Brown and his party are claiming credit for a massive budget surplus, and plotting ways to spend the loot. Yet Brown’s revised budget claims that there is not enough money to maintain the state’s highways.
Get that?
There is money for a high-speed rail system that no one will ride. There is money for tuition for illegal aliens at state universities. There is money for the public sector unions that control state politics.
But “current resources do not provide enough funding to support annual maintenance and repair needs” for the roads, even though “the repair, maintenance, and efficient operation of the state’s highway system is vital to California’s continued economic growth.”
To put it in Democrats’ favorite terms: how many people will die needlessly because Democrats in California refused to spend the money to make our roads safe?
That is how the left frames Republican opposition to Obamacare–a failing program that cut millions off from their health insurance, and whose insurance exchanges are alreadybeginning to implode. That is how the left frames the Amtrak disaster earlier this week, blaming Republicans for holding back funds.
