Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is proposing to completely eliminate the state’s welfare program for families, medical insurance for low-income children and Cal Grants cash assistance to college and university students.

Perhaps other states will follow suit when they get an influx of the "poor" from CA, and follow Ahnold's lead.
Maybe then we can see some real "change" in this country.
This was reported in the latimes today.
Further down it said this would save kalifornia 1.4 b of a 24 b dollar deficit. It is going to be more interesting.
I teach high school in los angeles and the class size is going from 24-1 to 34 for 9th and tenth graders and 45 for 11th and 12th.
This was decided before most understood how how the defcit will be.
Things are going to get way more interesting.
Are you a fan of “Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog”?
Hey, a reverse Grapes of Wrath!
A federal bailout of Kalifornia should be a line in the sand.
While he’s at it, he should kill the embryonic stem cell research program, the “combating global warming” projgram, the high-speed train between LA and Frisco, and a couple dozen more cockamamie state programs initiated under his regime. We’d save so many billions everybody in the state could get a tax refund.
You nailed it. This is little Ahnuld threatening to hold his breath until Obomba or the citizenry relents and guarantees more borrowing or pays more taxes. No way he would take free money away from the leaches when he can just threaten the taxpayers. This is calculated to get the greatest reaction in the shortest amount of time, so that he can call an emergency vote to raise the taxes he wants.
If only Ahnuld would have the stones to actually do what he threatens.
It would be a hell of a note if the CA taxusers had to move out instead of the taxpayers.
Very cool. He has nothing to lose by suggesting this, as he’s out of here next year. He should go out in a blaze of glory.
No program for illegal aliens, however, will be touched.

Scary huh???
>>greatest reaction in the shortest amount of time
Yup, the usual threats of firing teachers, firemen and cops didn’t work.
So, hit the liberal hot buttons, compel FedZilla to act to save Kakafornia from bankruptcy.
So what’s Ahnolt planning to do, confiscate Oprahs billions, and set up a welfare trust fund from that?
I’d love to see Micheal Moores bank accounts confiscated too, along with Streisands, and all those other leftwing holliwierdo’s.
It would be a move in the right direction, but Ahnold picked this knowing full well that there will be riots in the streets before the leeches will ever give up their free checks. When a big enough ruckus is raised, he’ll crawfish and reiterate the need to raise more taxes.

LOL.
A reverse “Beverly Hillbillies”
Well let me tell you a story about a man named Jed
Welfare recipient and dependent on the Fed
Then one day, the votes came from the polls:
No more recipients on the public dole
California public said “Get away from there”
“Go find a job” and “No more free healthcare”
So Jed grew up and learned resonsibiliteee
Found himslef a job in Memphis Tennesee
