"A Wide Swath of Social Damage"
California to Feel the Sting of Betrayal
The California Endowment -- June 19 
California Poverty Rate Projected to Reach 17%; Nearly 6.7 Million People
    [...] Key projected impacts of the recession include:
    The poverty rate is projected to reach 18.5 percent in Los Angeles, with nearly 2 million people in poverty and 17 percent in California, with nearly 6.7 million people in poverty.
    The share of impoverished children who are aided by cash grants declined from 74 percent in 1991 to 51 percent in 2008. If current enrollment rates in public assistance programs continue, there are projected to be 1.5 million impoverished residents in Los Angeles County and 5.1 million in California without cash aid when impacts of the recession peak.
    The annual number of child welfare emergencies in Los Angeles County is projected to peak at 195,000 and in California at 581,000, annual increases over 2007 of 28,000 and 88,000 cases respectively. [...]
    "Short-sighted arbitrary budget reductions are likely to create a wide swath of social damage that will cause far more lasting harm to the economy and the human capital of California than intelligently designed tax increases," said Flaming.
Red DotAmerican Patrol Report: California is about to witness a "wide swath of social damage" because the power elite, led by the Los Angeles Times, have defeated every attempt by citizens to stop illegal immigration. (Of course Obama won't let it happen for obvious reasons.)
