So why don't the "geniuses" then MANDATE that gas costs $1 per gallon, steak is 50 cents a pound, houses con't cost over 100,000 and cars 3500.00? Wouldn't that "help" all those people trying to pay their bills? Are democrats retarded? Don't they realize that this is going to cause the same thing that always happens when you artificially cap prices? Shortages and loss of quality.

Idiots. Why not force oil companies to give motorists a discount for gas? Why not force grocery stores to give shoppers a discount for food and drink? Why not force restaurants to give diners a discount for eating out? Why stop with the drug companies? What they really want is for them to give away drugs for free but even these economic illiterates know that's idiotic. I guess we need government to dictate prices since we can't rely on market competition to make that happen. One step towards socialism in California.

(No more Olmert! No more Kadima! No more Oslo! )

I watched some of the floor sessions in the Assembly and Senate yesterday and today. I watched as they passed the most outrageous bills, most with 100% Republican opposition. Here are a few I recall:

--The Green Building program
--Mandating that 10% of the $3Billion solar initiative be used on Affordable Housing
--Minimum Wage hikes (espousing the "living wage" ideal)
--Several more GLBT bills
--etc. etc. etc.

Socialism is alive and well in Sacramento. And the Veto pen seems to be dormant.
