The bonds would cost an estimated $4 billion in interest payments if paid back over nine years.

That is less than 500 million per year, which for a state this size , in population and cash flow is not that big a deal IF we could count on Prop 58 doing what it is advertised to do.

The Democrats are going to say screw this,..... vote for Prop 56!.

If it does pass and prop 57 and 58 fail, then Arnold would not have any choice but to allow the Demonic Rats to raise the taxes and control the budgets!

They could pound him into the dust since they essentially control all of the state media!

They will use fear of cuts in Public Safety to motivate the electorate, they are already starting here in LA with a lot of talk about the Sheriff's Dept being shorted nearly $300 Million by the State!

He can get equally(?) slaughtered by the 'Republicans' that supported him. You know... "no new taxes"? After his "tax, tax, tax", speeches, he'll be a lame duck if he lets mega-taxes go through. His promises and threats will mean nothing.

Should we send him a new VETO Pen on March 2?

If the bonds don't pass, I believe (am hopeful) that SOME cuts would be implemented. SOME cuts are better than NO cuts. Under the Bond scenario, we get NO cuts... just deferral of 'taxes' until later.
