In other words, we should look at Prop. #76 as merely the launching platform for another $10B of Arnold borrowing, and forget about any real reforms in cutting the cost of government in California. Great.

Whatever happened to all of those bold pre-Recall Arnold campaign promises? The ones like "blowing up the boxes", cutting the bloated state payroll, et., etc.?

I think he could have been trusted with those promises.

You just don't understand Arnold-speak, you know, like "special interests" didn't include Wall Street bankers who raided the state for an unnecessary cool quarter billion in Arnold's refi, that meant prison guards and Indian tribes. "Blowing up boxes"? That means blowing up the boxes that once limited growth in State debt. "Cutting bloated payroll?" Oh, we have those people doing meaningful work now, so it's not bloat any more.

"Everything for the people." Just watch.
