What would they have said had he gone after every cushy union job?

Never happen. Courts have the papers ready to declare whatever the Govinator does, unconstitutional. Just waiting to fill in the date.
Now if we can get them to apply that to "free" health care.
I know, I know, just a thought.
The old Firemen First ploy.
Dominican Hospital is closing down its mental health services here in Santa Cruz. If there’s any town that NEEDS mental health services, it’s this one!
That way jobs AND money would be produced.
The state is not responsible for the poor and has no right to take my money in taxes and give it to other private parties, rich or poor. Granted, the state can seriously chop costs elsewhere such as union labor and bureaucrat wages but welfare programs should and must be eliminated.
Well, what I expect is that the legislature will refuse to pass it, and they will argue over the budget for months.
In the past, Schwartzenneger has always caved and let the Democrats and the unions run the show. He had his chance, and he blew it.
Nearly all of the billions of dollars in cuts the administration has proposed would affect programs for poor Californians...
“Government doesn’t provide services to rich people,” Mike Genest, the state’s finance director, said on a conference call with reporters on Friday. “It doesn’t even really provide services to the middle class.” He added: “You have to cut where the money is.”
Okay, I laughed.
Looks like a small step in the right direction to me.
“... and hear the lamentations of their women.”
Mr. Goldmacher,
You COULD reform CALPERS instead....

The taxes will pass and the cuts will be rejected by the legislature. The left will simply keep squealing to D.C. for a bailout, and sooner or later they will get what they ask for. The unions will absolutely be saved by Obama as they contribute a significant amount of cash to the election campaigns for dems.
Arnold knows all of this and his posturing is simply for posterity.
There is still 40% left to try to cure liberalism.
See ? This is the kind of misleading statistic that really annoys me:
“Elimination of CalWorks, the state’s main welfare program, would affect 1.3 million people, including about 1 million children. The program, which requires recipients to eventually have jobs, gives families an average $500 a month. Ending those payments would save the state $1.6 billion”
At $500/mo, that’s $6,000/yr per family. In order to total $1.6B for the year, that means 267K families. Meaning an average family size of five for the people on welfare ?
So people that can’t even afford to take care of themselves went ahead and had an average of three kids. More likely four anchor babies and single illegal alien parents. And I am supposed to feel bad about cutting funding to such irresponsible people ?
Hopefully the company I work for will run like hell OUT OF California.
Maybe Arnold should call Christie in NJ to get some ideas.
I wonder how many state funded “art” museums were closed? I bet NONE~!
