I have said many times bailouts will be seen as the worst of policy response http://tinyurl.com/pjvhx8 all the more egregious when we so casually let our citizens fail. Auto manufacturers are now taking more bailout than the largest banks (GM proposal is $50B and counting) while the California administration, to close a $21 billion deficit, wants to eliminate a welfare-to-work program that provides more than 500,000 families, saving $1.3 billion but forgoing $4.2 billion in federal matching funds. Schwarzenegger also seeks to cut health care coverage for nearly 1 million low-income children under the Healthy Families program, saving about $250 million for the year. For the state’s students, he wants to phase out a college aid program and reduce $335 million in funding for the University of California and California State University systems.
