Immigration Moments That Changed A California Budget Analyst's Mind

After almost 20 years working for a California county, I retired from my job as
a budget analyst in the County Administrator's Office.

I retired early because I could see no end to California's budget problems.
Although the stock market craziness generated tax revenue at the end of the
decade and paid the rising costs of education, welfare and health care, the
bust followed the boom. Tax revenue plummeted. Costs continued to rise.

In less than 10 words, California's biggest budget problem is Third World
immigrants with lots of children.

Income tax is the largest source of revenue for the state.

Residents who earn less than $20,000 per year pay only 2 to 3 percent of all
income taxes collected.

A child in school costs on average $7,000 per year and the state picks up most
of the tab.

Part of the real budget buster is the entitlements that all of the gov't employees get. Give them all the same sort of
retirement and medical benefits the rest of us get...

The "rest of us" get anything from a few hundred a month from Social Security
and whatever Medicare provides to tens of thousands a month and unlimited
medical care.
