California is Out of Money—and Now the Consequences Are Here.

For years, Sacramento spent recklessly, pouring billions into programs like free healthcare for illegal immigrants, while ignoring the warning signs. Now, the bill has come due—and it’s devastating.
Just look at Medi-Cal:
Spending jumped from $17 billion in 2015 to $44.6 billion next year.
One in three Californians is now on the program.
Now they’re slamming on the brakes—gutting long-term care, services for seniors and the disabled, and even dental programs just to stay afloat.
Why? Because the government prioritized virtue signaling over fiscal sanity.
Sacramento is now cutting services to Americans—seniors, home care workers, and the disabled—just to backpedal from years of overspending.
This is what happens when leaders refuse to say “no.”
We need accountability. We need priorities. And we need common-sense leadership that puts Americans first.
