Missed this yesterday. And this morning, the LA Times -- which, bear in mind, hates Arnold and went so far as to run puff pieces on Tom McClintock a few days before the October '03 recall election -- has a headline today along the lines of, Dems Have Upper Hand In Budget?

Arnold had been steam rolled on the state budget. Its basically Gray Davis II.

[Logical me]

The CA CRATS created this deficit with their overspending and lack of fiscal control. Should we give in to their crap again. Gov. Arnold is trying, but the situation was impossible to start, and he is trying. Give up the CRATS and maybe in a few years we will see some progress. Can't be solved in 1 year, or 2, but maybe somewhere between 5 to 10. Sorry it takes so long, but it does take a long time to shovel the sh@t out of the barn.

Yes, the Los Angeles Times is right for once and even a broken clock is right twice a day. Arnold had a chance to staunch the flow of red ink bequeathed by his predecessor. He blew it. I'm advising California Republicans in our State Legislature to vote NO on this budget. I'd rather see the state head into financial receivership that see us continue to spend money we don't have.

How can he object as he shares the basic philosophy of the trash that is allowed to hold office? The only difference is the trash wants to spend about $1.00 more.
