• Gavin Newsom’s off-the-mark budget numbers undermine his credibility again

  22-05-2025 21:38 via ocregister.com
  
  Gov. Gavin Newsom’s revised state budget assumes California will see a sharp decline in projected revenue, largely because President Donald Trump’s tariffs will slow the nation’s economy.
  Newsom blames a “Trump slump,” as well as an unanticipated increase in spending on Medi-Cal, California’s medical program for the poor, for punching a $12 billion hole in the budget.
  Both of those factors, however, underscore a consistent trend in budgets Newsom has proposed

  Newsom babbled. He gesticulated so wildly that it was hard to pay attention. He made numerous misstatements and half-truths. He contradicted himself three times in one sentence. He even aired grievances against his arch nemesis, Florida Gov. Ron Desantis. And all while doing so under the guise of fighting disinformation.
