Lying Times
The Los Angeles Times is a Disgrace
Los Angeles Times Editorial -- January 9
A California budget -- or else
How's this for a ballot initiative: If we don't get one by June 15, we show our elected officials the door.
"In the midst of the nation's worst economic crisis in nearly seven decades, with the state's unemployment rate nuzzling 10% and with bond money waiting to be spent on major transportation, water and housing projects, California has halted public construction and idled thousands of workers because our government can't adopt a budget. In three weeks, Sacramento will begin sending out IOUs instead of paychecks. And no, those IOUs can't be spent at the grocery store or the hardware store or any other business that is trying to keep its doors open. Teachers will be laid off. Health clinics will close. Stimulus money spewing out of Washington will bypass us on its way to states that have their acts together."
American Patrol Report Comment – January 9
California is bankrupt because millions of illegal aliens use billions in services and pay little in the way of taxes. For decades the Los Angeles Times has fought anyone who tried to get the government to enforce our immigration laws. It has used every journalistic trick to keep the issue away from the people, including lying whenever necessary.
More than anyone, including the California State Legislature, the Los Angeles Times is responsible for the mess California is in today. It is a disgrace. |
