The state of California does not have the financial wherewithal to afford the White House's plan to extend expanded unemployment benefits during the COVID-19 pandemic, Gov. Gavin Newsom said Monday.
Newsom said in his daily coronavirus briefing Monday that the state would have to cover 25 percent of the costs associated with a $400 per week unemployment insurance payment, as outlined in a memorandum President Donald Trump announced over the weekend.
That 25 percent would amount to the state spending between $700 million and $3 billion in taxpayer funds per week. The state would have to make sharp cuts to public services to foot that bill, Newsom said...

But it can afford to give health care and welfare benefits to illegals and to invite more over....Maybe he should have thought of that before he forced everyone to be unemployed.
This is the state that’s given tens of billions to illegal aliens on a regular basis....but says it cant afford to help people that were forced out of work by the state
