Gavin Newsom is your typical left-wing Democrat; he can’t be honest about any of his policies because Democrat policies don’t work as advertised.
One of the ways they disguise their failures is by throwing as much taxpayer money as possible at a problem and calling it solved. But of course, things don’t work that way in reality. Granted, it’s not that money doesn’t solve any problem, but along with spending money, you also have to back up the expenditure with a policy that works to produce the result(s) you seek.
And that’s where the disconnect is with Democrats: Expenditures vs. results. And Newsom just gave us the latest great example of this horrendous disconnect.
