“The new reductions will affect child welfare and children's healthcare, the elderly, state parks and AIDS treatment and prevention, going beyond the dramatic cuts that were part of the deal Schwarzenegger negotiated with legislative leaders.”
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger will cut $500 million more from the budget; according to him these are necessary cuts. I think he’s just gone crazier! Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger says that this budget has its good, bad an ugly. He says that the good part in the budget is that the taxes won’t raise and the government will become more efficient. Although not raising taxes is important, overall the plan is just ugly. The cuts that the plan includes are: “$489 million -- took nearly $80 million that pays for workers who help abused and neglected children; $50 million from Healthy Families, which provides healthcare to children in low-income families; $50 million from services for developmentally delayed children under age 3; $16 million from domestic-violence programs; and $6.3 million from services for the elderly. Among other reductions was $6.2 million more from parks, which could result in the closure of 100, rather than 50, of California's 279 state parks.” Looking at where the budget is being cut from, there can be a conclusion that most of the wealthy people will not get affected. Aaron McLear, the Governor’s spokesman said that "The governor understands how difficult these cuts are," Honestly I don’t think that he does because these cuts do not affect him in anyway! The governor has also said “"if our revenues drop further, to make the necessary cuts and live within our means." I don’t think that he is making necessary cuts, because he has called the last cuts “necessary”, I can’t even imagine what the next “necessary” cuts will be. Hopefully things get better soon so that there won’t be any more cuts that affect people who are low-income, the elderly and others who really need help, such as people who need AIDS treatment.
