ANYONE who thought that Arnold would be able to single-handedly cut spending was a fool.

No one said anything about "singlehandedly." What Arnold has done, submitting budgets with an accelerated growth rate and failing to wield the line item veto, is entirely under his control.

Try learning to debate without a strawman as a shield.

"The Governor made changes, reductions and deletions to 40 different line items in the main budget bill, referred to as "line item vetoes" or using his "blue pencil" - a power granted by the State Constitution."

Perhaps you mean failing to wield it in the fashion that YOU would like ?

... and "entirely under his control" means "singlehandedly"
