BTW, I'm not trying to make anybody irate, it's just that the correct course of action has been so bloody obvious while too often what I have seen here has been impotent fecklessness.

I wonder how many FReepers voted for Prop 58?

I voted against both of them. I wanted a real spending cap, modeled after Colorado's TABOR. We badly need to place one on the ballot.

Too Many!

If truth in advertising applied to the California Recovery Team, they wouldn't have been able to so grossy misrepresent both Prop 57 and Prop 58. Phrases like "spending cap", "cut up the credit cards", "never again", "required to avoid bankruptcy", etc. would never have been used. Without the distortions and scare tactics, it would have failed... and the state would be better off. Now, we're right where we were, but instead of the existing debt at the time (about $7 billion), we're stuck with a $15 billion bond.... and still borrowing! Grrrrr... YOU don't mean to make me irate... the actions make me irate. /rant off
