CA Budgets Cuts

What riles me about the budget cuts is that the government is full of white, rich guys (like Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger & Mayor Gavin Newsom) can't even relate to us poor low-income folks (and that's includes seniors & disabled). All they care is about money, money, money! What about us low-income folks, which includes seniors & disabled? With the disabled (does that includes seniors) Muni pass increasing to May from $15 to $5 more bucks and twice that much by June ($30!), how will we live off? Right now, we're living off SSI and/or SSA. But what happens when the increase occurs? We need extra spending money to have fun and other stuff. But in order to have fun, we need to travel by Muni. But without Muni, no one will have the luxury to travel. Even traveling by Muni is a luxury. But without the money to travel to places by Muni, we have to forgo the pleasure of going to places. The budget cuts are bad enough, but increasing the rates to our Muni passes? That's gotta be the worse! If they wanna cut something, why don't they cut something we don't need like mental institutions, group homes, boarding care for the disabled and/or elderly. Why don't they cut jails?
