"...We have cut down the structural deficit by 75 percent. It was expected to be $16.5 billion. We're now at $4.7 billion. That is great progress . . . no matter what anyone says."

Schwarzenegger thus exposed to a national audience a bit of political propaganda that he and his aides have been peddling in California...

Were it true, it would mean that Schwarzenegger was fulfilling the promise he made...

Unfortunately for him and the state, however, data that the administration uses to support its claim of looming solvency undermine the contention.

More "truth twisting," as usual.

"More "truth twisting," as usual."

Far too kind.

Outright lying. Same thing as when the Rats claim that a reduction in the rate of increase is a "cut" in the underlying line item.

Arnold has just about hit bottom. Even McClintock won't be able to put lipstick on this pig.
