Even With California's Surplus, Governor Wants Fiscal Restraint
Keywords:
Governor Jerry Brown of California's call for fiscal restraint. In his annual State of the State address Brown said the emphasis must be on fiscal restraint and prudent spending so that the budget does not swing back to deficits. Brown was able to achieve a budget surplus of $28.9 million after spending cuts and temporary tax increases. In doing this Brown is seting a new tone for the U.S. of fiscal prudence after the budget surplus of the Clinton years was followed by swelling deficits. This also comes from the U.S.'s most seasoned governor, from the largest state in the Union, who has seen all sides of the picture. Brown said: "It's cruel to lead people on by expanding good programs only to cut them back when the funding disappears... We're not going back there." This may be the lasting legacy of Brown in his second effort as governor after two decades.

Jerry Brown and the balanced budget in California
10/23/2010
Republicans praise Brown's efforts to have the state live within its means. Higher tax revenues from upper incomes, spending cuts, and an improved economy are part of the plan for 2013 budget surplus of $851 million. Brown makes a rare achievement by continuing to invest in education and healthcare, cutting back in other areas, and winning the confidence of Californians on Proposition 30 which helped increase revenues.

Governor Jerry Brown's call for fiscal restraint in his Jan 2013 annual address sets the tone for the U.S.

Simply stated : "We're not going back there." Brown told legislators and Californians "its cruel" to spend money on programs and cut back when the money isn't there. Swinging from surplus to deficit shows lack of fiscal prudence and poor management of finances, a situation the U.S. is waking up to.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
