In California, a new $125 billion dollar budget proposed by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger includes spending cuts aimed mainly at welfare recipients. The proposed cuts to welfare programs would total almost $200 million over the next two years. A child-care program for welfare recipients in work programs would be eliminated. The Los Angeles Times reports the savings the state would achieve from the cuts would do little to address the multi-billion-dollar deficits that California still faces for the next several years.
