Not A Good Time To Be Poor - Or Unemployed - In California



M
ore proof that those with the weakest voices get the most crap- and all good things ain't FOR the kids...


In order to TRY to balance California's outlandish deficit- these cuts were made by the "Governator:"

"$80 million cut from child welfare programs- $61 million cut from county funding to administer Medi-Cal, California's version of Medicaid- $52 million slashed from AIDS prevention and treatment- $50 million gone from Healthy Families, the low-cost health insurance program for poor children."

There will surely be NO future savings from these cuts today but hey- it's FOR the children.

My ass.
