That means we're paying someone to carry your groceries up the stairs to your kitchen.
That person is often your child or the neighbor's kid, and your neighbor's kid's driving you to the doctor's office.

Why is California have twice the amount of money being spent on these same personal care services than the national average?
It's because if you're not making jobs yourself and you want to pretend like you're creating jobs and you want to be able to get federal tax dollars to pay for those jobs and then tax that income so you have more state revenue, well, you'd create personal care services.
It's literally exactly what they have done in New York and in California.
And here's the part that's really getting me.
They're unionizing those workers.
which means we're going to help the union that's the big service workers union in New York double in size.
