- Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has had a rocky relationship with Republican conservatives.

"It's difficult to reign when you have a down economy, a down state budget and you're forced to make cuts, especially when you don't have your own party on your side and a changing of the guard," said Jaime Regalado, executive director of the Edmund G. "Pat" Brown Institute of Public Affairs.

A humorously ironic name for another tax-leech. "Given as a gift", in Spanish. How appropriate!

This is not rocket science, gubber-natter.
In a down economy, there is less income available and all spending must be cut.
The State government can't operate under a different set of financial laws than the people who actually earn the money and pay the bills.

Now may be a good time to take another look at the "... incompetent and brainless in Capitol City who'd somehow been voted into office...", as someone so colorfully put it.

They produce nothing, they create nothing, yet spend billions without a second thought --- see my tag line. And there was this fat smirking toad, pretending to be a teacher, on a television commercial, berating a politician (who did not take a raise for a few months, then rescinded the request). How many months of raises has this "teacher" refused to collect on? How many raises has she had in the last ten years? Inquisitive minds...

Before Arnold, or anyone else in that brainless mass of stupidity starts preaching to us on television in the future, perhaps they should tell us the following first:

How much are you paid basic salary?
How often have you received raises?
How much do you collect for "expenses?"
How many 5 minute meetings have you attended to collect more money for doing essentially nothing?

What is your gross government "income?"

What have you given us?
Mandatory Uninsured motorist insurance where the responsible citizen is forced to pay for the irresponsible, no arguments allowed.

Now there is a tax proposed on Home insurance premiums to "close the deficit gap?" What deficit gap? The one you created by spending more than the state takes in?

I smell a few initiatives about to be circulated, addressing the (successful) scams you have foisted on the ignorant voters, like guaranteed funding to anything regardless of real tax and "fees" state income. And the biggie:

Allowing you to set your own salary as often as you wish! While thinking up new ways to rape the productive, the taxpayers.

They need to vote Cindy Sheehan into office and she’ll fix everything right up for ‘em.

“In a sense, the governor is a man unto himself. He’s on a lonely island.”

besides, he’ll always have the Kennedys.

He has frustrated the conservative GOP by striking deals with Democrats without Republican support and telling his own party that it is "dying at the box office."

If he had shut his yap, quit listening to his Dem buddies, and given an ear to what those Republicans were saying, we wouldn't be in the "fiscal crisis" we are today.

If he'd quit throwing knives in the backs of Republicans and actually stick to his campaign mantra (CUT, CUT, CUT), we'd have a box office hit!
