Before we get too worked up, we need to acknowledge that the government employees’ unions were split on this. If you look at the funding for the No campaign, most of it came from unions. If they had been united, like they were for Arnold’s initiatives in ‘05, they probably would have won.
The next moves will be interesting. There is no way they are going to lay off police and firemen and teachers. They are all members of the unions! Nope, the next moves will be (1) Zero will print out a few more trillion $ for a bailout and (2) the Dems and Arnold will pass tax increases and call them fee increases. These will be challenged in court but with the Supremes p*ssed off with the voters for reversing them on homosexual marriage, there is a better than even chance the taxes will stick.
Many in the rank and file sure liked Reagan!
I agree that this was complex, but it is an anti-government vote just the same.
Also, I want an up or down vote, in Congress, on anything that Obama tries to do, to bail out California.
The rest of the country will be ticked off if we are forced to pay for the overspending in CA!
