In a move that could make even the most liberal of Californians raise an eyebrow, voters in the Golden State narrowly passed Proposition 1, a whopping $6.4 billion bond aimed at pouring taxpayer money into constructing facilities for a select group of homeless individuals. Yes, you read that right – billions of dollars to cater to a specific segment of the homeless population. Who knew taxpayer dollars were the solution to everything in California these days?
Voters in CA continue their goal of destroying their own state. You can't fix stupid.
Gavin Newsom’s Signature Homeless Measure Ekes Past California Voters In Nail-Biter Vote https://t.co/2HApFqZQFe via @dailycaller

Governor Gavin Newsom, the shining star of the liberal left, couldn’t contain his excitement, calling this a “huge victory” and championing it as a game-changer in tackling homelessness. Because apparently, throwing billions at a problem is considered revolutionary now. But hey, who needs fiscal responsibility when you have a “radically different” approach, right?
The Associated Press took its sweet time counting mail-in ballots to confirm the narrow passage of Proposition 1, leaving Newsom twiddling his thumbs and delaying his state of the state address. Maybe he was too busy patting himself on the back for this “victory” to notice the growing discontent among taxpayers who are tired of footing the bill for failed government programs.
With only a meager 50.2% voter support, it’s clear that not everyone in California is on board with this lavish spending spree. But hey, who cares about the will of the people when you have a progressive agenda to push, right? California may be ranked fifth in the country for its homeless population, but throwing billions of taxpayer dollars at the issue without addressing the root causes is like putting a Band-Aid on a broken arm.
So, get ready to see those taxpayer dollars disappear into a black hole of bureaucratic inefficiency and government mismanagement, all in the name of virtue signaling and “doing things radically different.” Because in California, it seems like the only thing growing faster than the homeless population is the size of the government’s bloated budget.
