SACRAMENTO - Sources at the Capitol say Governor Schwarzenegger is expected to call another special session to deal with the growing deficit.
This comes as he prepares for his last State of the State address which he will give later this morning.
The state is facing a potential $21 billion deficit.
The governor is expected to warn about more severe cuts today.
One political expert says the Governor needs to deliver an optimistic speech with a recovery plan he can actually accomplish despite the recession.

He hired a crack speech writer.. or is it a speech writer on crack?
No matter. ;-)
“The state is facing a potential $21 billion deficit. “
WOW
Local tv station banner says it’s only 19.9 billion deficit. :-)
See, it’s shrinking already.
No, A’nold — you won’t BE BACK!
... Last ‘State Of The State’ Address
I wish that were true...
Should be a very short speech: “We’re Broke, Thank you”.
CA: The state’s sorry state - Does governor have stomach left for big fights?

He’s going to suggest privatizing the prisons and according to Fox, he wants to spend “money from heaven” on jobs creation.
I am glad he can take time out from making movies to speak about his job Californians gave him.
I was listening to talk radio on KMJ, they said Ahhnold wanted in politics, the only other position was someone who had been around for a long time and he did not want to go up against that. So he ran as a Republican for governor.
Aren’t we gullible? Married to the liberal Kennedy family and we thought he was sincere.
Schwarzenegger to propose spending $500 million for worker training
http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-budget6-2010jan06,0,3819397.story
Reporting from Sacramento - Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger today will lay out plans to spend $500 million on worker training in an effort to create 100,000 jobs, along with other measures to stimulate the economy, as a centerpiece of his policy agenda for his final year in office.
Schwarzenegger is set to announce the proposal this morning in his last State of the State address to lawmakers, in an attempt to stem the bleeding of jobs in a state that had a November unemployment rate of 12.3%.
The new spending to train workers is part of a five-pronged proposal Schwarzenegger is calling the California Jobs Initiative, according to a draft obtained by The Times. It includes legislative proposals to extend a tax credit for first-time home buyers, reduce sales taxes for the green technology sector, limit lawsuits against businesses and make it harder for opponents to block big construction projects by using environmental regulations.
Declare bancruptcy.
Re-Write all of the public employee contracts.
slash the budget
and leave office wiht a surplus.
His good ideas are too tepid:,,,,, “ limit lawsuits against businesses and make it harder for opponents to block big construction projects by using environmental regulations,,,”
and will get the axe from democrats anyway.
We were gullible, but who’d of known the Jerkinator lied his butt off while running for office. He ran as a reformer, remember? I guess the political corruption and dissembling of the Kennedy’s rubbed off on Ahnold even before he became the gubinator.
A speech that is Terminal on two fronts delivered by the Terminator .... this stuff just writes itself
