"All the people of California were the big losers, and the election likely was only the beginning of their losses. "

Good article.

The "cut off your nose to spite your face" people hurt all of us.

Yeah, good opinion piece. Stan Katten usually gets things right.

Compromise is not going to prevent the Dems from bankrupting the state of California. You just need to completely disregard everything they stand for, if you expect to have any chance of saving it. And even then, it will be very dicey, given the damage that has already been done.

Great article bump for us "Kaliforniahns"!

Never overestimate the intelligence of the average CA voter. Very disappointing.

Too bad the voters were stupid enough to believe the lying propaganda of the leftists. The rats are going to bring this state down completely before people wake up.

"bankruptcy or higher taxes...., or huge bond issues"

That's the future for California. The RAT scum party has existed for 70 years on one big lie: that you can vote to raise the other guy's taxes

"They voted down a measure to give the governor greater ability to limit expenditures to revenues, and control the structural spending when revenues are lacking. This leads to a sizable deficit each year."

Lets see now, that would be Prop. 76, I believe. You know, the one that you assured us was essential in order for Arnold to be able to make the big cuts in costs and "blow up the boxes" as promised pre-recall. Now we learn today that Arnold is planning a $50-$100B bond issue for "infrastructure".

Please explain to us dirty unwashed how to reconcile your hero's need for Prop. 76 to make cuts when he was planning a $50B-$100B bond issue all along.

We're waiting for your explanation.

My friend is an active dem in LA. He was glowing about the election results. I asked him? What now? More of the same? The dems have no platform except to throw money at the various victims groups in the state.

Leave it to Republicans to post this moronic dribble on a conservative website.

For the Republican loyalists: Schwarzenegger screwed up big time. He picked the wrong arguments at the wrong time and let his gigantic ego get in the way of his political aspiration.

Why in the hell the CAGOP would front an Austrian national for a position of US political leadership is beyond me but the results aren't.

Somebody from the Central Committee needs to sit down with this foreign amateur and convince him to bow out before he destroys California and the reputation of the CAGOP.

The reality is people here love Big Government. And they don't want change unless the tax load becomes so intolerable they must change. The voters feel they have the best of all possible worlds. Why mess with a good thing? Inded.
