Governor's Budget Hits Health and Social Welfare

Download audio (MP3)

Friday afternoon, angry protesters demonstrated in Sacramento just outside the building where Governor Schwarzenegger was announcing deep cuts to health and social welfare programs. With California stuck in an economic ditch and facing a $19 billion deficit, the governor proposed things like eliminating subsidized child care for poor families and ending CalWorks, the state's welfare-to-work program. And he's not proposing any additional tax revenues to fill the gaps. Guest: John Myers, KQED's Sacramento bureau chief.
