"If you want a world class work force 15 years from now, you've got to be educating your kids today," said Jean Ross, executive director of the California Budget Project, a liberal-leaning nonprofit that evaluates the impact of state spending on low- and middle-income families.

Ross said that she is also opposed to borrowing money to pay for needed services, but points out that Schwarzenegger has borrowed billions in the past and is likely to include a significant amount again next year.

"If you really think these are pressing needs, stop using debt to pay for them and raise the revenues needed," she said.

reduced borrowing, but not reduced spending.. means we're living on borrowed time... and continuing to run a liberal agenda in the schools.. which is nothing more than a guaranteed recipe for certain disaster.

Pay off the debt first. Then fix our transportation system. It couldn't be simpler.

Exactly. The schools have plenty of money. They need to use it wisely and stop whining it isn't enough.

"The governor is going to be very careful," Palmer said. "The lion's share of the revenues, we believe, are one-time in nature and we don't want to spend them on ongoing programs.

That's how we got into this problem."

Now that sounds good....

I still say the CA AG should file a lawsuit against the feds to recover the NINE BILLION A YEAR it's costing us to allow the illegals to stay here. Now that would be a WINDFALL!

I wrote the AG, I don't know if he reads his mail. LOL

And what about the 20 percent that we are not getting back from DC in taxes!!!!

Is anybody awake in Sacramento???
helloooooo

The extra revenue is nice but it still doesn't address the built in, annual, $8-10 billion deficit. At some point the piper must be paid.
