CALIFORNIA: Will Newsom’s Newest Headache Stick A Fork In His POTUS Hopes?

Through the pandemic, Red and Blue America sometimes looked to the champions of their respective causes.

Remember Andrew Cuomo? There was a time when he was considered as a potential President because of his prominence in the COVID proxy battles. He crashed and burned, but two Governors rose to particular prominence in the backdrop of the shutdown. Florida had DeSantis, and California had Newsom.

Then, and since, each of them has used the other as a foil of the kind of leadership and governance the rest of us ought to avoid or reject. Hannity even brought the two onto his show for a debate.

With Biden’s competences (and chances) getting worse every day, there have been rumors about what the ‘plan b’ could be if Biden drops out. Gavin’s name has always been on the short list.

But news just dropped about the condition California finds itself in… and that news could do serious damage to any claim of his being a safe and competent choice. California’s economy is in a tailspin… and no amount of ‘Bidenomics’ optimism can fix that problem.

California, by itself, is facing a one-year deficit of $73 BILLION.

California’s budget crisis is projected to expand more than previously thought and could hit a record deficit of $73 billion, according to a new report from the state’s nonpartisan Legislative Analyst’s Office (LAO).

The LAO laid out the grim forecast in a Tuesday report that cautions that a $24 billion “erosion in revenues” corresponds to a $15 billion increase in the state’s budget problem. Due to this, the budget deficit, which last month was estimated to hit $58 billion, could now go as high as $73 billion.

“The actual increase in the state’s budget problem will depend on a number of factors, including formula-driven spending changes, most notably Proposition 98 spending requirements for schools and community colleges,” the report said. — FoxNews

For context, that’s more red ink than the entire economy of Belarus, which happens to be the 86th largest country in the world… of 212 listed countries.

That’s the amount of DEBT in Gavin Newsom’s California. And he’s STILL blowing through cash like a sailor on shore leave.

America just crossed the point where the INTEREST on simply maintaining America’s debt load now exceeds our entire defense budget. That’s not cutting into the principle at ALL.

Why should America trust Gavin to run the show even in the best of times, let alone when we’re tottering on the edge of a financial cliff that hardly anyone in either party is willing to discuss, let alone propose meaningful solutions.

So… is it time to stick a fork in Gavin? Or nah?

Comments are open here and on social media. Let us know what you think… better yet, ask your friends if Gavin is too dumb and dangerous to lead the country through a looming financial crisis.

John The Baptist: A Rude Awakening Precedes A Great Awakening.

This timely little tome chronicles the politically incorrect ministry of one of God’s most effective wildmen, John the Baptist, who prepared the way for Christ’s ministry.

The abrasive message of repentance John preached 2000 years ago is still confrontational and offensive today — but it is also life-changing.

In our putrid, worldly culture that has turned away from God, this book is a must-read for every Christian.

Available in paperback for those of you who like the feel of the pages in your hot, little hands, on Kindle to keep it right at your fingertips, and as an epic Audiobook.
