California makes further budget cuts, with more on the way

California’s irresponsible, bloated government is making yet another round of budget cuts that won’t cover the state’s budget deficit.

Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) and California’s Democratic supermajority in the legislature have cut into the state’s budget deficit by another $17.3 billion between agreed-upon cuts and delays. That includes $3.6 billion in true budget cuts, with the state cutting two more climate programs (after already making climate cuts last year to the tune of $3 billion) along with housing programs, welfare, and government personnel funds.
