This is disinformation.

Search: California default

You'll find the usual far right disinformaiton websites with the exact same disinformation: Drudge, Epoch "News", Hot Air, etc

They're wrong because California has not yet defaulted. It could happen, but that depends on the US government's next steps with the debt ceiling.

It might help to know that $10 trillion of the US debt was developed with tax cuts and other handouts to the 1% during COVID, which was made worse by Trump's anti-vax language and that debt was in place when Biden took office. Now the GOP want to take more of your money, from Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, welfare, unemployment, etc. Returning to earlier tax levels and restricting offshore accounts would raise all the necessary money.

Trump's anti-vax language

For a man that created the program and told people to get vaccinated, I'm always confused when people refer to Trump as being anti-vax.

You should remember very well what he was saying about lockdowns and vaccines early in the Pandemic, which helped spread the virus. Among his 44,000 lies while in office, he also called COVID a "hoax' and recommended drinking bleach, and taking ivermectin, was generally pushing anti-vax disinformation in the first two months of the Pandemic. There is A LOT of informaiton on this online.

recommended drinking bleach

He never said this. He said "disinfectant," when he was obviously searching for the word "anti-viral," and everyone starting saying he was telling people to inject bleach.

what he was saying about lockdowns

The CDC and WHO recommended against "quarantining of the healthy" in their own pandemic plans that were in effect at the time. Speaking out against them shouldn't have been controversial.

You're right - injecting disinfectant, or 'light' : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zicGxU5MfwE

This is misinformation - sending the wrong message about the necessary approaches.

It made the top 7 dumbest comments list, here.

Quarantine and lockdowns were recommended and they happened.
