Your data is inaccurate. California actually has a $6.1 billion surplus for 2018.
gerry brown proposes to spend 131 B in 2018 from the states general fund to achieve that 6.1 B surplus in deficit spending. He proposes 190 B spending through next year. He's trying to spend the general fund (money with specified targets to spend on) in order to make his legacy (pathetic) look better. Deficit is different than Debt. The state will still have somewhere in the neighborhood of 1T dollars in debt.
The state had a 27B deficit when he took office; he now must spend 131B to get to that 6.1B; thats 131B already ear marked for other things.
Forget about the dollar numbers themselves; it's the method of how the tax payers money is handled thats pathetic....spending the peoples general fund as his majesty see's fit.......leftist care not for any government BY THE PEOPLE - FOR THE PEOPLE.
