Governor plans to completely eliminate welfare for families
I bet it gets rid of the homeless problem in the state as well.
On the bright side business at thrift stores, and soup kitchens is bound to pick up. :smile:
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is proposing to completely eliminate the states welfare program for families, medical insurance for low-income children and Cal Grants cash assistance to college and university students. The proposals to sharply scale back the assistance that California provides to its neediest residents came in testimony by the administration this afternoon at a joint legislative budget committee hearing. It followed comments by the governor earlier today that he would be withdrawing a proposal to help balance the budget with billions of dollars of borrowing and replacing it with program reductions.
Yeah that'll work.The proposals would completely reshape the states social service network, transforming California from one of the countrys most generous states to one of the most tightfisted. The proposals are intended to help close a budget deficit estimated at $21.3 billion.
