Call it a joke, call it smoke and mirrors, call it a sales job, call it stupidity, call it whatever you want but please don’t call it a “budget.” Anyone who thinks the latest version of California spending and income figures projected for 2023–2024 by our governor is a budget should really go back to school and learn what a real budget is, what it is used for, and how it is composed, funded, and put into action.
