Go Tom!!! I think everyone here who is a Californian, will be supporting the ballot measures to get this state back under control...
I thought California GOPers wanted Arnold because he was supposed to be fiscally conservative, and they were willing to overlook has social liberalism. Oh well. Another liberal pretending to be conservative pretending ti be moderate.
Curious statement Eagle.
The vast majority on this forum didn't support Prop 57. In fact, they were angry that a Republican even proposed it. Why would conservatives now turn around and support Prop 76?
The first $15B, predictably, made matters worse and went a long way to seal Schwarzenegger's fate with conservatives. It enabled Schwarzenegger and the other big spenders in the legislature to keep increasing the spending. What will another $10B do? Probably guarantee that Schwarzenegger will propose another 11% budget increase for FY 2006/2007.
I remember other props...that the PEOPLE passed...and the suck-ups just lawyered their way around them.
History will repeat itself....
That is my prediction.
FWIW-
You, me, and several CA freepers will join Arnold and Tom McClintock to support the reform agenda. Unfortunately, not everyone here is on board. Calcowgirl, Prime Choice and some others appear unwilling to join our noble cause.
It's slow going, the unions are throwing tens or even $100 million at stopping Arnold's reforms but progress *is* being made. Debt was serviced early. No taxes have been raised. Gay marriage is halted. Illegal driver's licenses halted. Again. Minute Men support. Car tax tripling repealed. There was no new borrowing this year. Workman's Comp reform happened. The CA economy is growing.
If you truly want to fix things at a quicker pace we must change the makeup of the legislature and cut off the bottomless pit of funds for union crooks to spew lies year-round. We're at a critical cross-roads with this special election.
We didn't get into this mess quickly; we can't get out over night either.
