Comments on: Steinberg Addresses Budget Cuts, Education at Rancho Cordova Town Hall Meeting http://www.ranchocordovapost.com/2009/11/11/steinberg-addresses-budget-cuts-education-at-rancho-cordova-town-hall-meeting/ Local News, Events, Things to Do Thu, 03 Feb 2011 01:31:53 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: T-Will http://www.ranchocordovapost.com/2009/11/11/steinberg-addresses-budget-cuts-education-at-rancho-cordova-town-hall-meeting/comment-page-1/#comment-4095 T-Will Thu, 12 Nov 2009 17:59:02 +0000 http://www.ranchocordovapost.com/?p=6723#comment-4095 There's a really simple solution to the budget problem...CUT THE WASTE. What does a family do where the income-earners have received pay cuts or lost their jobs or where expenses have gone up? They CUT THE WASTE in order to be able to pay their expenses. The government needs to adopt this same philosophy instead of robbing from the people. Nice job on placing the blame on the public, does he realize that the public does not create the budget? This mess is completely the Legislature's faults. In California, we already pay the 2nd highest in state taxes in the Union and he just wants more and more. On the issue of public education cuts, how about looking into other areas to cut? Or cutting some administrative costs associated with public education? I love this quote: "...private businesses could negotiate with school districts to provide work for minority graduates." Why should private businesses focus on minority graduates? Nice pandering there. I think one of the main issues with our education system is parents. If we had parents who were supportive and responsible, then the students would be more likely to take their education seriously. I can't believe people like this are running the state... There’s a really simple solution to the budget problem…CUT THE WASTE.

His main point was that Prop 13 took a major source of income away from the state, so they need to find other ways to generate income if they ever want to stop cutting money from state-run programs.

Prop 13 has been in place for decades now and Steinberg blames this for the dismal state budget situation. It seems to me over-spending and fiscal mis-management are to blame for the current state budget problems. Granted, we're facing a major downturn in the economy, however shouldn't we have plans in place for situations like this. Blaming Prop 13 is ridiculous.
