Looking back, California Budget Fact Check is examining whether budget cuts in last year's budget actually materialized. Consider that:
- Spending was up $1.1 billion over the adopted budget. An "apples to apples" comparison found that General Fund spending grew from $91.5 billion in 2010-11 to $92.6 billion in 2011-12.
- Many of the permanent budget cuts in the 2011-12 Budget did not materialize, including $1.7 billion in proposed cuts to health and welfare programs.
- Budget gimmicks, including loans and fund shifts, did materialize. However, those maneuvers did not reduce overall spending and grew the deficit.
