US Beware - Gavin Newsom

Newsom has not officially declared it yet. He is definitely campaigning for Presidency. As a resident of the State he is the Governor. Newsom is a dynasty candidate. The kind that gets an automatic nomination. As his political career demonstrates. Charismatic and elegant speaker, he is very polished.

To get past most of the misdirected politics. Chat GPT shows how Newsom screwed up California financially. You'll hear his speeches and blame game. Truth is something different.

🧾 What Really Caused California's Massive Budget Deficit (2025)

📉 1. Overreliance on Volatile Revenue (Capital Gains & High Earners)

• Nearly 50% of California’s personal income tax revenue comes from the top 1% of earners, mainly through capital gains.

• When the stock market and tech sector slumped in 2022–2023, revenues collapsed.

• The budget was built on the assumption of continued boom times — a huge mistake.

💸 2. Spending Commitments Outpaced Revenue Growth

• Between 2020–2023, California expanded spending dramatically:

  • Universal TK (Transitional Kindergarten)

  • Medi-Cal expansion to undocumented adults

  • $17+ billion in homelessness and housing efforts

  • Green energy initiatives and climate subsidies

• These were politically popular but not funded with sustainable revenue streams.

🧮 3. Budget Gimmicks, Not Structural Fixes

• To “balance” the 2025–26 budget, Newsom:

  • Delayed payments to school districts

  • Shifted expenses to future years

  • Borrowed from special funds

• The Legislative Analyst’s Office (LAO) has warned these are temporary gimmicks — not real solutions.

⚠️ 4. Warnings Ignored

• The LAO repeatedly warned Sacramento that deficits were looming — starting as early as late 2022.

• Despite this, the governor and legislature continued to expand programs and refused to cut or reform.

• When the deficit hit hard in 2024, the administration was politically unprepared — and started blaming outside forces instead of owning the mismanagement.

❌ The “Trump Blame” Narrative Is a Deflection

• Tariffs and tax policies under Trump were years ago and already baked into economic conditions.

• The Biden administration kept many of those policies — so Newsom blaming Trump now is disingenuous.

• It’s a political smokescreen to distract from California’s own budget recklessness.

🧭 Final Assessment

Cause	Who’s Responsible?	Reality
Revenue collapse from capital gains	State policy structure	Predictable and warned about
Massive program expansions	Newsom + Legislature	Popular but not sustainably funded
Budget gimmicks (deferrals, borrowing)	Newsom administration	Kicks the can down the road
“Trump slump” excuse	Newsom messaging strategy	Politically convenient, but not factually valid

Outside the US its not all that interesting. If you are in the US, things are already getting annoying.

For Kpop

Gavin Newsom is a Rolling Stone. Rolling from one event, interview, speech and proclamation along the way. Getting exposure and positioning himself as a contender. Note it is at the expense of State Governor duties. But that is classic Newsom.

Newsom by his support for diverse communities. Indirectly includes Kpop by Asian Community popular culture.

For political expediency Black Pink and BTS would be groups he might stan. Doubt he would know anything about Siyeon or Bora.

Californians Bill Maher, Joe Rogan, Ana Kasparian and a bonus Rap video by Tom MacDonald. Have their say about Gavin Newsom. Their liberal leaning except for MacDonald.

Twigger warning skip spoiler and have a nice Day.

The point is these are people who have lived through Newsom's political Career. As Californians that despise him for what the has done. Now that he is Running for President. fyi

Gavin Newsom campaigning so early. He gets recognition as the main contender.

Democrat's only choice now. Beware this guy is likely doing it to skim donor's money. One of his magical powers, millions go missing. Even Billions spent with nothing to show for it.

He will promise lofty and moral ideals, that Democrats eat up. No results just financing corruption.

As predicted Newsom is giving his performances on the issues of the Day. Issues that Newsom previously performed about. So much lip service, pretend sincerity and earnest. Nothing gets done and a whole lot of Money spent.

Newsom also suffers from TDS.

California years ago passed Term Limits. Two terms as Governor, also twelve combined years total in any State offices. California is about to be done with Newsom. Sorry that this Guy has gone National. Avoid him like a nasty STD. Don a Hazmat suit and drop him in a incinerator. You don't want any of his graft.

Newsom is polling well for the Democratic Nominee. His campaigning early is likely one reason for his favorability.

I can attest to record high cost of living and crime getting more brazen. While Newsom is not solely to blame, he has his stamp of approval on it. So here is another installment of Beware of Newsom.

Joe Rogan take on Newsom's California's nightmare.

Feels like Newsom is getting over exposed. He is chiming in on everything to get a little recognition. Too much Pretty Boy.
