California like to advertise it is a liberal haven who cares about the needy and illegal alien. There are costs to do so. About 5-10 billion can be traced to the deficit to educating illegal aliens. nobody wants to attact that. The disabled didn't come here illegally, they were either born this way or some event put them in need. They would not have had to make the cuts if the one set of liberals would have allowed more drilling for oil on the existing platforms. Can't have that. So cut to the disabled instead, a group they think will not fight back. A civilized society takes care of there disabled, unless you wish to be like Nazi Germany that routinely executed their disabled. What kind of nation do you wish to be?

If all these people drop off the system and either die or find themselves in the street, you will have to step over the bodies. If they go to nursing homes instead, it will cost 10 times as much. Many are required to provide 24 hour care and paid for 8 hours. If you took, every penney they are given, it would still be a tiny fraction of any help with the deficit.
