California Becoming Conservative?
Environmental Republican ^ | 6/8/09 | Scott

Posted on 06/08/2009 2:58:15 PM PDT by sswenviron

Maybe the Governator is realizing that conservative ideas are the only ones that will save his state.

...It's time for new ideas and bold initiatives because Lord knows that spending money we don't have has been a disaster. It would be nice to smack Obama upside the head with reality if this approach works even a little bit.

Too bad we didn’t have a conservative (or even a republican) governor...

becoming a Conservative again is Aaahnold’s only choice, as the Libs are about to start marching on him with torches and pitchforks, now that he can’t fund their programs.

Don’t bet on it. He’s hoping Sheriff Obama comes riding to the rescue.

A lot more action's needed by this Governator {spit} to substantiate that theory.

"The American public is changing attitudes as well as Obamanomics has been shown to be a colossal failure."

Maybe.

In other news: A a whopping 71% of MSU students think zerO's doing a bang-up job. And THAT's from the wasteland known as Michigan.

If they bothered to teach real history in school we wouldn’t keep trying to walk down these failed roads in America...

Arnold has already said illegals are welcome in CA and shouldn’t be scapegoated. Until CA addresses its illegal alien problems, then any new proposals or schemes is just more arguing over what’s for dinner on the Titanic.

Nothing is changing.

The left is spreading scare stories to cause fear and paranoia.

The story is being floated that california is going to cut off welfare benefits. Does anyone actually big, blue, liberal California is actually going to do that? Even if the legislature does, some judge will just throw the law out.

Private school tax credits or vouchers would do a lot of good.

The beauty of this crisis in CA is that barring Barry riding to the rescue, there will be massive cuts in spending b/c there won’t be any money. They can try to go to court, but all the gov’t has to do is show its bank book.

The current system, based on highly unstable income tax revenue that fluctuates with the economy, “doesn’t work,” Schwarzenegger said.

I'm all for a flat tax or better yet a simple Fair Tax to replace the income tax. But neither will fix the fluctuations in revenue since tax collections no matter what go down when the economy goes bad. You need to get a handle on spending and get the state as well as the fed to spend ONLY on their constitutional responsibilities. Until 1913 we had no income tax and we became the greatest country in the world in that time. To paraphrase Serpenthead Carvelle, "It's The Spending Stupid"

If the Governator could print money like Obama - and stick fellow Americans with the bill ( like Obama’s going to stick the Chinese) he could keep walkin’ the liberal walk. BUT the Governator can’t print money... he better state dancin’ the conservative dance.
