Wasn’t there a giant surplus when he came into office?

They sure know how to make those go *poof*

When he took office, there was an $8 Billion deficit.
He borrowed $15 to cover it and squandered the difference (poof!).

Now we have an even bigger deficit, massive debt, and a huge debt servicing cost.

Life is good. /s

To be fair... That was "Dimbulb Davis" and his $8,billion surplus. At that time I was chanting:"We don't have a government surplus... What we have here, is SURPLUS GOVERNMENT!!!"

Well now we have surplus bondage and the drag of debt service in addition to the drag of taxes... So Mr. Maria Schriver has turned into a real DUBIOUS DRAG QUEEN ON CA!!!
