a mountain of debt

is the only sure thing that stops spenders from spending. It's the cheapest method ever discovered to reign in out of control shoppers. Arnold tried to stop the spending at the ballot box and failed. This is a scorched earth strategy, is the only viable plan left. We might as well try to build some lasting structures with our money rather than let the socialists have at it.

Arnold tried to stop the spending at the ballot box and failed. If you are speaking of Proposition 76, it would not have had any impact on spending in this decade and authorized billions in new bonds and borrowing.

This is a scorched earth strategy, is the only viable plan left. We might as well try to build some lasting structures with our money rather than let the socialists have at it.

Arnold has collaborated on the legislation that (thankfully) got defeated last night.

Lasting structures? This plan is a socialists dream! Farmworker housing, billions for parks and conservancies, open space, subsidies to brownfields and other landholders and developers, enhancement of wetlands, etc. etc. etc. This is far from spending on "lasting structures" or anything that much resembles what one would consider "infrastructure". Read this thread:

CA: Bond includes 'green' money - Environmental causes large part of spending plan
Or read the legislation itself:
AB 134
