Sure, biggest US economy and all that but that doesn't mean much when you spend more than you make. Just recently they defaulted on a federal loan and now Californians have to repay it via increased federal taxes.
That was my thought as well. Promise something so extreme so that somebody else stops him, preferably lots of Republicans. Republicans look evil for opposing and he a hero while never intending to pay anything in the first place.
It should have worked perfectly.

Schwarzenegger killed what was left of the California GOP years ago. Anyone in the state claiming to be Republican is just a DNC puppet that they're allowing to hold office as controlled opposition.
He knows he won’t pay. He probably didn’t think it would make it this far.

True. That would be inflation on steroids. The best thing would be to tell these people no. They weren’t slaves and slavery ended in 1860s
Unfunded pension liability alone is around 700 bilion (over a trillion by some estimates I've seen). Even the fumes dissipated about a decade ago.

California is super-majority Dem controlled, they own this.
He didn’t think a room full of black people would vote to give themselves free money?
I’m sure he knew it but he knows he can’t say that out loud
