AAARRRGGGHHHH....BUT THE DEBT HAS TO BE PAID. What part of that don't you understand. He can cut everything 50% and we'd still have to pay off this debt.

You should have voted for someone else, then.

McClintock outlined ways to get back in the black without borrowing, and without 50% cuts.

I'm totally OK with a full fledged government shut down, if that's the best that Schwarzenegger can do. It needs to happen.

No, a good portion of that debt is not yet incurred, as it is debt for the coming fiscal year.

No bond = no spending.

Using blatantly false assertions does no service to your argument. California has a $100 billion dollar budget. According to Mr. McClintock, the State need only cut its expenditures 13% to cover the debt. They need to cut a little more to cover the loss of the car tax. Arnold doesn't want to substantively cut spending, even though that is what he was elected to do.

You, FareOpinion, and the other Ahndroids were thumping endlessly how the Terminator was going to cut reckless spending. So far and as predicted, he's a virtual no-show other than a 4 billion dollar pittance that is already in trouble. You told us he would intimidate the legislature with his popularity. So, where is that angry crowd?

I am sorry to inform you, Arnold is a politician. He has been grooming for this job under the tutelage of a former Wilson aide for over ten years. You've been had, and by a pro. You were warned and chose to ignore those who knew better. I suggest that learning to accept your error is the first step to recovery.

Please start with dispensing with emotive wailing as a substitute for rational debate. Try facts for a change.
