From Willie Brown, who ran the House in CA like a Gestapo — that Willie Brown? That Willie Brown who has the nerve to accuse others of being crooked and cooking the book?
Excuse me while I sit here and laugh. There is an old saying about the pot calling the kettle ... that I won’t post in its entirety because I don’t want me or this site to be called racist but it sure does fit in this instance!
The State? Wouldn’t that be Willie Brown?
Everyone saw this coming. They just did not care. They figured that the poor people in Mississippi and Alabama would bail them out by paying higher taxes subsidize their spendthrift ways.
Old Willie was indistinguishable from nutty Nancy when he ruled the California legislature. Since he left politics, he’s gotten sane.
Frankly, the budget was balanced back then.
Willie is always a good read. Although an unabashed liberal, he understands California politics.
The size and spending of California's government has grown 40% in the last ten years, far outstripping increases in population and inflation. Any Republican "cuts" have been as a drop in the ocean.
The Democrats have long been in complete control of California, a couple more decades of their leadership will bring the plights of Detroit and Mexico to the whole state of California.
Willie Brown is the coolest liberal of all time.
“Always tell the truth unless it’s politically expedient to do otherwise.” Willie Brown
What a self-aggrandizing sack of Joe Biden.
Self-righteous jackarse. It all started with the Demonrats under Gray Davis down in their takeover. Just another example of the disaster of that party when given total power like they are going to do nationally! And now nothing but a Kennedy stooge Demonrat in Republican clothing to show what a girly man he is! That state can drop off into the ocean and take the liberalism it gives this country with it. Willie Brown’s part of the philosophy which brought it on while having the audacity to write this drivel. Kalifornia should be a political issue against Demonrats and their policies and warning enough for why we didn’t need it nationally, but people are now learning the hard way, aren’t they?!
