Too much of it is mandatory under law. The law is what legislators make it. If you are referring to propositions that the legislature cannot override under the California constitution, tell me precisely which spending is "mandatory". I'll bet it's not nearly as much as you are claiming. For one thing, if the spending was mandatory why wasn't it there five years ago? And if the people want something to be solved they can always vote to change the so-called "mandates" (if they even exist, which you have cited to even one word to convince me of). I will repeat (since you didn't answer it before): If you take the 1997-98 expenditure level, adjust it upwards by 13.25 for the change in the CPI since then and 6 percent for California's population growth, you can still cut out enough from California's expenditure level to put the budget in balance. Message 19386626 (balancing the budget by rolling back spending) Message 19387161 (helping balance the budget by rolling back state government employment increases) You never answered either one of those posts with anything meaningful.
