The governor is required to present a balanced budget - he has not done that.

Does anyone know, during the last standoff, he said he would line-item veto over 700 million in spending if republicans would just agree to the massive spending increases? Did he do it?

Arnold has spent more time telling Republican to just work with the left, never holding them accountable for anything. He caused this mess.

I'm not saying the Governor is off the hook. I'm glad he's on it. Now let's hear what his vision of California government is. The one preferred by the Democrats with endless deficit spending and a mammoth Sacramento bureaucracy that runs everything in sight and then some or the one most Republicans want, with balanced budgets and one that trusts the people to make their own decisions. Its not just a matter of math, its fundamentally about philosophy. For the last 50 years, everything in California has flown in the direction of ever bigger government. Its time to reverse the trend and restore to the people of California their God-given freedom.
