Newsom says “progress,” literally any sane person says “failure.”
Newsom was in SoCal yesterday celebrating the “progress” of his homelessness programs.
Just one problem – since he took office, he’s spent $20 billion and made the problem 20% worse.
By any objective standard, that’s called “failure,” not “progress.”
But rather than chalking that doublespeak up to gaslighting by the governor (he would never…), it looks like he just doesn’t have a handle on the meaning of “progress.”
📈 In 2021, Newsom touted “progress” in California’s economic recovery from COVID. At the time, California had the HIGHEST UNEMPLOYMENT RATE OF ANY STATE.
💧 Last year, he cheered California’s “progress to boost water supplies.” California HASN’T BUILT A NEW RESERVOIR SINCE 1978, even though voters approved billions of dollars for that NEARLY A DECADE AGO.
🚂 In December, his administration boasted of “continued progress” on High-Speed Rail. That project is $94 BILLION OVER BUDGET and they’ve just GIVEN UP ON TELLING PEOPLE WHEN IT WILL BE FINISHED.
