Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said Wednesday he is "open-minded" about $8.2 billion in tax increases proposed by Democrats to help resolve a $15.2 billion budget shortfall this year.

Has anybody even seen the hole in Arnold’s head to prove that he’s open minded?

Points and counterpoints on Dems’ tax plans

Karen Bass, the speaker of the Assembly, said, “Californians are telling us don’t decimate education, don’t shred the safety net, don’t close parks and provide health care for kids — don’t close clinics.”
“The straight truth is that takes revenue,” she said.
But California Taxpayers’ Association President Teresa Casazza said, “This is not budget management. This is a recipe for recession. During an economic downturn, the last thing Californians need are more taxes.”

So the Government spent 15 Billion more then it had and the answer to that is to increase taxes on the people by half that amount?
So the people get screwed today with a tax increase and then will get screwed at a later time with an additional tax increase to recover the other half plus the interest on the debt.

I thought all that homo wedding money was supposed to bring the state prosperity.
That would have been FairOpinion the pain-in-the-arse RINO lady who used to feed the squirrels in Santa Monica. She was banned however. In fact on this occasion I'm going to send in $25 to the Freepathon in her memory -- thankful that she won't be showing up in this thread to infuriate us all.
You know who lives and posts under other names here, and has for some time. jmo.
her “style” sticks out like a sore thumb.
Well, well, well... the muscle headed RINO found oil to drill not off the coast but in the wallets of his constituents!
