Right. Nowhere to cut but cops, teachers and firefighters.

I've worked enough campaigns to know those keywords are used to manipulate.

Too true hinckley buzzard,
If you fail to pass this budget increase measure the CHILDREN will suffer. The sun will stop shinning and our food supply will vanish.

Life for democrats is tough on the backside of the Laffer Curve.

[ALPAPilot]

state cannot declare bankruptcy. They have the power to tax

Simple math and the Laffer Curve show the limits of revenue. If Obligations, like pensions exceed possible revenue - checkmate.

I smiled at McClintock’s description of D and E as irresponsible rip offs of irresponsible rip offs. I was tempted to vote yes, but I finally just voted NO on all of them.

[indianrightwinger]

I read them and his view, and will vote NO.

By voting yes, I will implicitly be endorsing the original tax increases. That I will never do!

I had considered voting yes on them at one point because I hoped it would make the leftists heads explode to take money from one of their programs to give to another. But my final reasoning was that I didn’t want to keep feeding the beast either. So - NO on all six.
