In this The Daily Signal article, Angelina Delfin reveals that California Gov. Gavin Newsom expanded the state budget by roughly 40% since taking office in 2019, squandering a massive surplus and leaving the Golden State vulnerable to deficits and unfunded liabilities.
- Newsom’s final budget reached $351 billion for 2026-27, prioritizing expansions in Medi-Cal, homelessness programs, education, climate initiatives, and illegal immigrant services over debt reduction.
- Former state Sen. John Moorlach criticized the missed opportunity, noting insufficient focus on paying down pension and retiree medical liabilities, causing California’s national ranking in unfunded debt per resident to worsen.
- Critics highlighted disproportionate spending, with over $10 billion allocated to illegal immigrant services compared to about $500 million for veterans.
- Despite record revenues from Silicon Valley and major corporations, Newsom’s liberal spending approach has led to recurring deficits instead of building fiscal resilience for future recessions.
- Moorlach warned that without aggressive debt management, Californians will bear heavier burdens during economic downturns, as liabilities don’t disappear.
- The article portrays Newsom’s tenure as classic big-government mismanagement, favoring short-term political priorities over long-term fiscal conservatism.
