California's socialists have spent like there's no tomorrow and believe it or not - in a bad economy, have proposed taking on even MORE debt and higher taxes!

Arnie be a man and save this country! Come out and tell the people that you are not a Republican, but rather you are a full blown liberal Democrat who has ruined California and that if the people vote for another Democrat for President, the USA too will be completely ruined!
MAN UP ARNIE! COUNTRY FIRST!!!

and here I thought all those illegals were HELPING the economy.....
as long as long shore workers make on average $150,000 a year, I could care less about Cali's crisis....
they just passed a budget out of control with no cutbacks...
they could just raise their taxes.....maybe raising their taxes people would leave sooner, and the govt would have fewer people to feed, dress, and house, and teach.

This article is about Red Arnold's fantasy bullet train from Los Angeles to Las Vegas. Its a joke and let's hope voters pull the plug on it in November.
Pinging Willie Green! Pinging Willie Green!

I don’t believe California has laid off one employee, shut down one commission, or renegotiated one union wage contract. They did cut a few budgets but essentially, they haven’t done anything to help themselves.

Arnold Schwarzenegger sent an extraordinary letter to Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson asking for $7 billion. Although the governor has since withdrawn that request...First, ask for the money, then say never mind. Talk about the boy-anator that called wolf. No credibility for Schwarz.

If high speed rail is so great, let the private sector come and build it!

MESSAGE TO PAULSEN:
Tell Schwartznegger to forget about the bullet train, close down California's universities, remove illegal aliens from the welfare rolls--and then we'll talk.

At this point, bankruptcy is probably the best thing that could happen to California. That state needs a CTRL-ALT-DEL of its entire bureaucracy. It’s been sad to see a state with so much promise be run into the ground by runaway socialism.

They want to build a high speed rail line from Los Angeles to San Francisco? Its STILL cheaper to fly there! No way a bullet train gets there in under 4 hours. In contrast, by air, it takes half that time to fly there. This is ONE white elephant project California does NOT need. They already have Amtrack! They need Caltrack, too now? Puhleeaze!

I can just see the headline: California Drowns In Debt To Build New Taj Mahal.

Yep.....California doesn’t have any money but ....spend, spend, spend. They are looking to raise taxes. Keep the people broke and you have control of them.

You’ll get your wish, because one thing the people in charge, at the state or national level, appear completely incapable of even considering is stopping or even amending the spending patterns leading us to bankruptcy.
