Obvious and brilliant GOP strategy makes sure not a single GOP legislator supports any budget that raises taxes.
Say openly and publicly that they will support *ANY* budget that does not do so and that the Dems are obstructing rational solutions. (why that is smart PR: since Dems can pass such a budget on their own anyway, they could pass such a budget anytime. it's their lust for taxpayers' wallet that makes them want to tax-n-spend instead of cutting.)

Let the Dems stew in the mess of their own making.


"The Dems can pass a budget as long as there is no new taxes, but they won't. "

Needs to be the GOP mantra ... that alone could bring the GOP in CA back from the brink.

The Democrats say they will not cut spending further, but they will soon be faced with a choice of enacting a budget with less spending than they would like or shutting down the government and spending nothing.

And They Will Shut Down The Governemnt. The Democratic philosophy is, was, and always will be "My Way or No Way At All". Of Course it will be the Republicans fault according to the Democrats.

"If those nasty republicans would have just let us raise your taxes everything would be fine"
