$16.5 billion: Structural budget deficit inherited by Schwarzenegger in 2003. Of course, the $16 billion was exposed by Dan Walters as totally bogus, cooked up by Arnie&Co when they took office. The fraud continues.

Abolish California's income tax and expand the sales tax to include services. That should put California's tax system on a sound footing. And adopt a spending cap so any excess revenue is returned to the taxpayers.
