Gavin Newsom’s $125 billion train to nowhere is not the only way the moonbats who rule California have of wasting taxpayer money. The New York Post reports on the looting that takes place via a state workers’ compensation program:

Called the Subsequent Injuries Benefits Trust Fund, the program provides extra benefits to employees covered by state workers’ compensation who sustain an on-the-job injury.

Such injuries evidently include not being able to achieve an erection — a problem that will become increasingly prevalent as California dissolves into liberalism. Payments of $1,700 per week for life are doled out for complaints like headache, allergies, acid reflux, and sexual dysfunction.

It didn’t used to be quite this crazy. But then the liberal courts stepped in.

The California Courts of Appeal decision required a generous interpretation of disability claims — spiking annual employer costs to between $2 billion and $3 billion, the audit noted.

Additionally, a growing backlog could push total liabilities past $20 billion within “a few years.”

Good thing other people’s money is free.
