a reader comment:

How about the Democrats that are controlled by the Unions and refuse to make any concessions. As taxpayers, we are corporate board members of all state employees and it's time we made the tough choices to live within our means.

The R word (recall or revolt, take your pick) will become more and more prominent if the idiots that can’t count well much less spend in a sane manner go ahead with these latest offerings.

also, prepare to pay a tax on almost everything, vet bills, drinks, you name it..

Republicans should not vote to increase taxes. For the trade-off to work, the GOP would need to get agreement in writing from the Democrats and their allies to support the enactment of a tough spending cap, not just pass one. When pigs fly.

That’s wonderful. Arnold proposes that they should cut the budget by 1/7 of the expected deficit (which will probably be even larger, as economic losses multiply), and they can’t even agree on that.

What about the other 6/7 of the shortfall? What ever happened to BALANCING the budget?

It’s a real question. Who has been stupider since Arnold got into office? Arnold or the Democrats? If anything, Arnold has been leading the way. If you borrow and spend like a drunken sailor in prosperous times, what happens when the predicatable recession—or depression—hits?

I guess Arnold figured like all the rest of them that it would happen to his successor, so it wasn’t his problem.

Thank you again, Assemblyman Villines, for leading the resistance against the taxes. Glad to have you as my rep, as long as you keep doing that.

...With California facing a projected two-year, $27.8 billion budget shortfall, Democrats and Republicans continued to fight over whether tax increases would make things better or worse.

Great....these folks can't get their act together and Karen Bass (D)Assembly District 47 is demanding a bailout from the feds.

Too many pressure groups have their finger in the pie. Therefore, government will simply have to collapse of its own weight.
