Politicians never shy away from using a tragedy for personal gain. Democrats like Gavin Newsom and Elizabeth Warren have been caught stealing donations intended for California wildfire victims and funneling them back into their Democrat Super PACs. New Mexico, Oregon, Arizona, and Washington have all benefited from California’s oversupply with cheap or free energy. California has the highest debt of any state in the nation. It cannot afford to lose money on this initiative. The state is ignoring the short-term while focusing on the lofty goal of achieving 100% renewable energy in the next 20 years. They sell renewables as a way to save but this is simply not the case for California residents who are paying more for a basic necessity. The US government highly favors migrants over citizens. California’s Senate passed a bill that will permit illegal migrants to secure housing loans at 0% interest with a 0% down payment. They will receive grants of up to $150,000 to use toward the home. California citizens are handing these people free healthcare, debit cards, phones, and now home ownership. How do the Democrats justify this blatant scheme? How will these migrants pay property taxes? How will they pay for property insurance, which often surpasses the cost of property taxes? What happens when the local municipality goes bust, and no one can pay the bank? The US government highly favors migrants over citizens. California’s Senate passed a bill that will permit illegal migrants to secure housing loans at 0% interest with a 0% downpayment. They will receive grants of up to $150,000 to use toward the home. California citizens are handing these people free healthcare, debit cards, phones, and now home ownership. How do the Democrats justify this blatant scheme? The Legislative Analyst Office (LAO) found that California is facing “double-digit operating deficits in the years to come” as a result of reckless government spending. For the 2025-26 period, the LOA believes the state may have a balanced budget but called Newsom’s spending and policies highly unpredictable. For now, the state has seen $11 billion in “spending-related solutions” and $15 billion in “other solutions,” which will ultimately become problems. Newsom already withdrew $7 billion from the rainy-day fund. The state is now banking on high-income citizens for tax revenue to accommodate its ever-increasing spending. This report was compiled before the deadly wildfires caused uncalculated damage to EVERYONE, including the dreaded rich who the state expects to cover the spending gap. Newsom spent recklessly on everything but infrastructure. The Los Angeles Times found that Californians are now paying up to three times the national average for energy. The infrastructure simply is not in place to store or carry the amount of solar power generating, leading millions of dollars in energy waste. Southern California Edison and PG&E customers have experienced a 51% increase in costs over the last three years alone. Still, the state is attempting to build MORE solar panels to reach its goal for 2045. Solar producers and grip operators are at odds. Solar farms have slowed energy production by 3 million megawatt hours in the last year, enough to power over half a million homes in California.
