SACRAMENTO

Trouble in bond city?

[RANGERAIRBORNE]

It is amazing that the Democrats could run a State as rich as California into the ground in such a short time. Only a few years ago, they had SURPLUS money, and now they are going to the equivalent of the local loanshark to pay current operating expenses.

What a bunch of maroons!

[NormsRevenge]

With a capital T .. Ouch!

DUMP DAVI$



GO SIMON

[snopercod]

Borrowing $12.5 billion to pay off the $7.5 billion borrowed only 3 months ago?

Or is this to pay back the money Davis borrowed from CalPERS, the Teachers Retirement Fund, the pop-bottle fund, the dentist retirement fund, and the highway trust funds?

But the rats have an answer. They just stripped off the gun manufacturers immunity. An avalanche of money from law suits against the evil gun makers will soon come rolling in.

[Desdemona]

You know you guys are welcome in the Midwest.

[Pylot]

The entire gun industry in the US is well under a 2 billion dollar business. That is why all of the other efforts have pretty much fizzled, the lawyers can not get paid enough for their efforts.

I think California has a constitutional requirement that the legislature provide a balanced budget every year.

The lawsuits need to go against the dims for their corrupt spending practices!

[Digger]

..and the morons keep winning because the illegals put them in office. So what does Simon do but cowtow to this group. Your "Two-Party Cartel" at work again. How many times do you pubbies have to lose before you shake that group & go elsewhere to a true CONSERVATIVE party/group.

Davis has a problem!

The power Crisis bites Davis again!

Right. I was being sarcastic in #6. If the dims concentrated on the economy (as in real economic growth by encouraging business), as much as they have been hell-bent (excuse my French) on gun laws, California would be in much better fiscal shape.

It's almost like California has been infected with "political AIDS." Our immune system of protection is being weakened and we are under attack and can't get rid of the infections. It will kill us, slowly but surely.

pAIDS ;-) .. I LIKE IT !!!

[Dog Gone]

So, the budget that was passed about a month ago is off by at least $3 billion of red ink.

The train wreck wasn't supposed to start happening until AFTER the election, or at least that was the plan...

[ReleaseTheHounds]

Someplace I saw a report that the cumulative deficits of the 50 States is something like $30 billion... according to this report, California represents about $24 billion of that total (btw, Maryland, after decades of Demo domination, now has annual deficit of something like $1.3 billion). Pretty amazing that CA floats along with the apparent re-election of this horrible governor just around the corner. Good luck to you Simon supporters.

the lawyers can not get paid enough for their efforts.

They could get paid plenty. But the slimy type of legal sleezebags are too greedy to go after such a pittance of only $2 billion.

The state of Cali is Fornicated.

"& go elsewhere to a true CONSERVATIVE party/group."

What? And get further marginalized? Are you serious? There are 10,000 comedians out of work, but you keep tryin!!!

Side note to Beached Ernest & Oaken Carryall... You guys and your underlying underline seperation character in your scream names is wearing out my shifter and right pinkie from stretchin for that special key!(grin) I just typed "Ernset_at_the_Beach" and the preview thingy really got upset about it!!!

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Damn, you got a right mouse button and the copy function?

Get Notetab light! ROFL!

[NEWwoman]

And Davis is the epitome of the governor advancing "pAIDS".

[NormsRevenge]

If He ever made it into 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue .. God Help US All!!

Someplace I saw a report that the cumulative deficits of the 50 States is something like $30 billion... according to this report, California represents about $24 billion of that total

In 2002, all 50 states combined faced budget deficits of $40 billion. California represented $24 billion of that. This means that California's budget deficit was more than all other 49 states combined.
