The most recent example? A reparations bill that would establish the California American Freedmen Affairs Agency has sailed through the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Senate Bill 1403, one of at least 14 reparations bills introduced in the Legislature, cleared the committee by a 8-1 vote two weeks ago, confirming one more time that lawmakers have descended into madness.
Unless they regain their wits, reparations will break the state.
Even though California was not a slave state, the Democratic side is all in.
Pacific Research Institute senior fellow Wayne Winegarden reckons that "a $2.8 trillion reparations bill" will bankrupt a state that is already flooded by red ink.
"The slower economy and higher tax burdens will also accelerate the current declines in the state population. By 2029, California would lose 1.8 million residents, including the huge increase in people seeking a better lifestyle in other states rather than California." But maybe the cost will be worth it.
Many recipients will never feel whole because reparations will only whet appetites for further entitlement.
