California Governor Jerry Brown Is A Genius!

California Governor Jerry Brown is a genius!

And here’s proof, as recorded today by the L.A. Times:

“The lawmaker who authored the California Dream Act said Saturday that Gov. Jerry Brown has signed the bill allowing Illegal immigrants attending California universities to receive state financial aid.

Brown's office declined comment, and an announcement on the legislation has not yet been made.

But Assemblyman Gil Cedillo (D-Los Angeles) said he was notified Saturday morning by the governor's aides that Brown has approved the measure, which makes illegal immigrants who are accepted into state universities eligible, starting in 2013, for Cal-Grant assistance.

One legislative analysis predicted the bill will cost an additional $40 million to help students who qualify by graduating from a California high school after having attended school in the state for at least three years. They also must show financial need and meet academic standards.

The legislation was opposed by most of the Republican lawmakers who questioned an expansion of programs to benefit illegal immigrants while the state is cutting services to residents who are in the country properly.

Assemblyman Cameron Smyth (R-Santa Clarita) is among those who are not persuaded by assurances of minimal to no impact on legal students.  He noted that there are as many as 40,000 illegal immigrants who might apply for financial aid from funds that are limited and that are not being increased by the legislation.

"Therefore, for every dollar awarded to an undocumented student from that pot of money, a dollar would have to be taken away from a citizen or a legal immigrant," Smyth said.  "I believe that is wrong.”

Jerry Brown knows that California has long since spent itself into oblivion.  He know the Golden State can’t possible sustain its spending programs - not even close.  He knows California is going to go “Bust”...and when it does, guess who picks up the tab?

If you said the rest of the United States (at least the few remaining states that are not in the exact same sinking boat) then you’d be correct.

Brown is wisely piling on the spending bills now because he knows Californians will never, ever pay their bills, so it’s smart to spend as much as possible now and pass the entire mess on to the rest of the country somewhere down the road.

It’s pure genius, I tell you.  Continued thinking along these lines and the Democrats will be looking to Jerry Brown as presidential material very soon!
