California has a deficit closer to $1 trillion. The unionized public employees have unfunded liabilities manifested in bloated salaries and pensions. Scoundrels like Gavin Nuisance and his predecessor Jerry Brown guarantee public service contracts in exchange for block votes. For example, the boondoggle of the slow speed rail pays for the unionized public transportation employees' pensions and salaries; this scam explains why California has the highest gas prices in the country. Environmentalism serves as the pretense to extort the California State citizens into using public transportation. Governor Nuisance rewards the inferior public service based on laziness, incompetence, and complacency coupled with absolute corrupt election to secure political power.
