Asking Schwarzenegger for political or fiscal opinions is like asking a cattleman to support and explain the vegan lifestyle.

Come on January 2011. It can’t come soon enough!

He’s telling congress to hurry up and pass a bill that will cost ca $1 billion? OK. That helps to explain why the stinking state is bankrupt

“if the federal government doesn’t provide more money...”

Congress doesn’t make money, beyond simply printing it, they simply steal it from the productive types,

The only word that comes to mind is hilarious.

Too bad Schwarzenegger waited until now to act like he had a spine.
