Harris responded that the measure limits spending “by not allowing borrowing.” Aside from the fact that Schwarzenegger’s measure does not prohibit all borrowing, even a real prohibition on borrowing would not be a spending limit. At best, the governor could claim that his measure leaves intact the state’s existing Gann spending limit, but that limit has been amended so many times with exceptions that it is widely seen as irrelevant at this point.

Un****ing believable duplicity on the part of Harris (and therefore Schwarzenegger. Unreal! Prop 58 allows the borrowing. In fact, it creates the borrowing.

Schwarzenegger must think just about everyone in California recently immigrated to the state with a third world, grammar school education.

He thinks he can SELL anything (after all, he got elected). With a campaign budget of about $10 million to spend, we will have to endure this type of misrepresentation for a very long 5 weeks. Talk radio is already pumping the measures, saying that the alternative would be "Draconian" cuts. TV Commercials will no doubt be excessive. When will the 'Go Arnold' touts return to FR to stifle any criticism of Prop 57/58? I thought they'd be back on the payroll as of today.
