Wilson talks about California's budget and government. He notes that California has had some surpluses, which the government is gradually spending even as it increases the budget each year. He is frustrated with the governor's handling of state tax policy. In addition, Wilson disagrees with spending on public programs like welfare and Medi-Cal. He believes that these programs can be abused by their recipients, which increases state spending. Wilson insists that there must be job creation to provide employment before allowing people to receive welfare benefits. He wants to ensure that people receiving welfare are truly in need.
