Ahnold is mad about the CA system? Gee, it's too bad he hasn't been in a position of power to do anything about it./sarc
Arnold instead of choosing to be a reformer played the role of a politician. Anyone could have done that. His true intentions for ousting Grey Davis and running for governor were obviously not as the reformer he promised. It was a naked power grab.

“The state doesn't have a spending cap.”

Yes it does, in our state Constitution it notes “the Governor must submit a balanced budget.”

That means he takes in what he does, divides it for the next year and away ya go, the extra is the rainy day fund.

His budget is a combination of borrowing, guessing on future revenue and bonds, special interest and politicians not doing their job.

So, in summary, the main problem is that CA has a hard time raising taxes and that federal judges are mean?? I don’t hear anything in there about the fact that public employee unions own the CA legislature lock, stock and barrel and that their demands for every greater benefits and compensation comprise a large part of the deficit. Don’t hear anything about CA’s welfare benefits being amongst the most generous in the nation.

The problem is excessive, promiscous, completely-over-the-line, crack-addict-with-a-million-dollars-to-spend style spending that CA, it’s politicians and population, have chosen to engage in.

I’m afraid my adjectives fail me here. The previous paragraph is, unfortunately, disrespectful to crack addicts with a million dollars.

SchwarzenKennedy is NOT a glass-half-full guy, he is a half-wit.

It appears steriods shrank both his brain and his “manliness”.

I'll get the last laugh Kalifonia!

It would appear that “Mr. Shriver” has truly become a Kennedy, believing that he should be permitted to rule and simply ignore the silly whims of the underclasses. What a shock, huh?

I'm no expert in these matters, but I would suggest to the Governator to take a look at some the states that aren’t going broke and see what they are doing. Then take action.
