Bonds for roads has been the one reason in history we did do bonds. Another would be to build a school and so on.
We have needs in 20 years from now with roads that includes keeping in good shape what we have and expanding where roads go.
We need the roads.
Just like the Feds found we have a surplus, the State should also find a good surplus with all the new property tax income coming in.
I would hope some propositions would go out there to restrict spending and to some day open up off budget things that get automatically funded.
We also need to have public employees and unions get no more than the average wage and benefits for their jobs, not 50% overpaid on our tax dollars.
I believe in property rights and what I said is that even if with the Democrats in office, once some places try and confiscate private property and some of it makes the news, there will be new laws forbidding it on the state level. The people won't stand for that and even liberals won't stand for that.
I was also accurate, outside of the military, who needs fully automatic weapons?
I did hear California is going to register rounds of bullets by serial number in the future to connect the buyer with any crimes if the future. That is coming as a political issue from what I hear and read.
I like a well armed Californian citizen for safety. I'm just not out of my head standing up for automatic weapons and military grade weapons in the hands of the general public.
The Republicans have to run to the left of what they like to do at least slightly in CA on social issues. Unless you have some superstar running, the people won't go at this time for the full conservative. I don' think the majority of CA voters are that responsible.
I was also accurate, outside of the military, who needs fully automatic weapons? Which, conveniently, was not the point of the discussion or news since automatic weapons have been the province of government since FDR.
The point was the restriction of Second Amendment rights by a liberal, Republican governor.
One fact is certain. Republican partisans will always, absolutely, refuse to discuss facts or ideology in a courteous, straight forward manner. Much like their Democrat counterparts, their presentations are emotion driven and seek to injure rather than exchange or learn.
No developed debating skill, constant shrill wine or personal vitriol can make Schwarzenegger a conservative. No lecture, no brow beating, no attempt to inflict unearned embarrassment is going to compel a conservative ideologue to vote for a liberal or advance liberalism. King Arnold simply has no clothing!
