"Pay as you go" will get you 10 feet of roads fixed every year, how long do you think it will take the fix the roads, not to mention that they continue to deteriorate.

We reached a crisis on the roads.

As I said, the only way to fix them is by borrowing the money and fixing them NOW.

Borrowing is never the problem, the problem is what you do with that money -- investing in infrastructure gets you something for the money, throwing it away on "education" is money down the drain.

And the people who just gave us their pet "global warming" initiative will make California attractive for businesses to invest and have a future here? There's the way all this going to be paid for is through higher taxes and spending cuts in public safety and infrastructure. Don't worry, the Left's pet programs will remain untouched.

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

I really suggest you read these bond measures before posting this nonsense. Your "ROADS" include such sound "infrastructure" investment as retrofitting buses to fight global warming and intercity rail projects including urban rail operators, bus operators, waterborne transit operators, etc. A huge chunk goes to the Ports, not Roads. Another chunk goes to local districts that should be using their own revenues to fund local projects--not state bonds. Other than highway 99, don't expect to see much highway improvement. Not to worry, you can just jump on the Red-line.
