  To be fair to them, California's population is 38 million. Divide the budgets by that number to get a per-capita cost and it doesn't seem crazy to me. As an aside the way we citizens run our government, budget bloat is guaranteed. We complain a little about bloat, but we complain a lot when things don't go perfectly, and we also go looking for individuals to blame. The strong incentive is to be very risk-averse. That's especially true in organizations, like government, where stability is prized and careers are long. I really appreciate a lot of the work that government people do, but I would never put up with half the bullshit they do.
