Not only that, but they passed the initiative making it possible to pass a tax increase by simple majority.

Let’s sit back and watch the leftist experiment collapse.

California, and probably Illinois too, are going to come looking for a bailout. Hopefully, congress will stop that. It is too bad congress gave out that stimulus debt, because it provided cover for crappy governors like the Canuck in MI. No more bailouts!

Let the people who make stupid decisions fail. Stupid should hurt. It is not compassion to steal from the masses to bail out billionaires, car companies, or leftist governments in failed states.

But, we will see how the newly elected Republican congressmen can let us down.

Sounds like the idiots in Colorado , they voted to keep on paying high license plate fees for high priced cars.

When you purchase a car you pay tax,s according to the cost of the car, so the tax,s are already paid but when you buy plates you still pay more for your plates if you buy a higher priced car, why?

It costs no more to make a license plate for a big car than it does a small one and the paper work is the same,on top of that you are paying more for road tax because you are getting less fuel millage, you pay for road tax when you buy fuel.

Why, two reasons 1, lack of understanding, people go to school for years but have so much crap to worry about and to do that they do not have the time to do what they are going to school for in the first place.

Reason 2 is that one of these things that they are doing in school is learning class envy, make the rich people pay.

So if some one decides to work two jobs so they can buy the car they want and be able to make the payments on it they have to pay more because of these blood suckers.

People of Colorado, the size or price of a car has nothing to do with how much it costs the state to make a plate, you pay your tax,x when you buy the car, and you pay your road tax when you buy fuel.

Many people would love to see the poor pay less for license plates, but not if it also helps the people who are supposedly making good money.

Giving the state more money does not help the economy, get rid of about half of the public servants and quit stealing people,s money and it will get better, get the people with the police state mentality out of our government.

They still need a super majority to pass a tax or fee increase, but a simple majority to approve a budget. Since the budget must be balanced..there will be a lot of lies and borrowing in it..just like this year.
The Golden State has turned Brown.

There won’t be a bailout. CA can raise taxes and drive its last productive people and businesses out of state.

Go for it, California! You made your statement with the election of Gov. Pothead Moonbeam and Sen. Ma'am the Witch. You were given the choice -- take a new direction and begin recovery or descend further into your socialistic death rattle. You very loudly and very clearly made a statement that the Fools-Golden State is no longer a welcome venue for producers.

Well, we in the Old Dominion will gladly have them. We only ask that you keep your tawdry masses of useless eaters, illegal aliens, celebutards, enviro-whackos and other societal stains.

My fellow Kalifonians are insane! They have no grasp of reality. I thought for sure we would get rid of Boxer this go round. What are we to do? Plus we now have Jerry Brown again. Am I having a nightmare? I only remember from the 70’s the bumper stickers “California suffers from Brown Rot”. I was in high school, and not politically astute then. But I got the impression that most right thinking folks did not approve of him. God help us!
