The bonds enabled the dems... now they are empowered!

Which Dems? The ones with Ds or the ones with Rs?

Hello.

Hey John, the local governments you and the gov are screwing are going to beat you to it, except they're raising taxes on all income levels (sales taxes, school bonds, "safety" bonds).

PS, Don't tell FairOpinion. He's had enough troubles recently accusing folks of spreading misinformation about the effects of Prop 57/58.

They would say we must raise taxes to pay off the deficit!

Treasurer Phil Angelides, a critic of the $15 billion budget bond, told reporters that the measure will cost every family $1600 -- between cash out-of-pocket and money pulled from programs or raised through higher taxes.

I have seen that statement over the last few months, without any time factor associated with it. Isn't that over the lifetime of the bonds? So if the bonds are paid off in 10 years then it is $160 per year or less than $15 per month.
