Three conclusions can be reached:

1) Partisan pursuits, regardless the guiding political philosophy, is no guarantee of a sane and common sense work product.
2) The political class in California apparently feels very insulated from consequences.

These ageless political shenanigans remind me that the Achilles tendon of democracy is ruptured when the majority realizes they can legislate themselves the treasury.

Its all smoke and mirrors. Red Arnold wants to pass the buck off to his successor. Doing something would jeopardize his plans to get elected to the U.S Senate in 2010.
