Now California's Projected Budget Deficit up to $32 Billion

The Cautious Optimism Correspondent for Economic Affairs and Other Egghead Stuff reminds non-Californians that Governor Gavin Newsom's previous deficit forecast was $22 billion.

That was less than four months ago.

California also already has the highest taxes in the country with a top income tax rate of 13.3% and the middle class paying marginal rates of 9.3%.

Adding insult to injury, the recessionary effects of the Federal Reserve's recent rapid interest rate hikes haven't yet taken full effect on the national economy. While the USA technically entered a very shallow recession in the first half of 2022, the Economics Correspondent believes the real recession has yet to come at which point California's deficits will widen further.
