No, I'm at a 34-35 right now and exercised 3 hours in Racquetball Sunday. I could be in better shape, but am not in the worst by a long shot.

Thanks for providing 104, all you had to do was point it out to me.

It is a form of exactly what happened to us with Gray Davis as he grew the government by 40% as the revenues only increased by 25%.
Our debt due to that bastard is 19 BILLION.

Guess what, we passed a bond rather than a state bankrupts and we will have to pay it.
We added another balanced budget amendment to the mix to offset attempted future spending.

This is all a result of folks believing in government that the revenue from all the stock gains would never end.

I don't like the tax form directly and would have suggested that Oregon pass a bond and balanced budget amendment as we in California have done.

You can't bankrupt the state. No way you can cut all at once what was needed, so a bond should have been pursued, and later revenue would have had to be paid by increased taxes YES.
Or they could TAX not temporary.

It would be unlikely they could gut the budget and throw mental patients on the street. Not likely to happen.

Guess again. Those spending increases put into place by Davis and the democrats are permanent.

Did Ahnold suggest any cuts to the spending increases put into the budget? Nope. He only suggested that the bond be passed so that Davis' spending increases could be paid for legally, but the budget is still $19B larger and will be staying that way. The only republican suggesting spending cuts was McClintock. I saw how poorly he was treated by your fellow republicans for his efforts. Kind of funny how the so-called 11th commandment wasn't observed in his case, isn't it?

Bustamante wanted to raise taxes to pay for Davis' debt, just like the Oregon republicans.

So, if you support the republicans in Oregon who voted to raise their taxes, then you're no different than a Bustamante supporter.
