As Republicans attempt to oust Democratic Gov. Gray Davis, their effort is fueled by the charge that he and the Democratic-controlled Legislature spent a surge of tax revenue late last decade too freely and for too long.

Lawmakers are haggling over a state budget that is 13 days overdue, and recall backers point to irresponsible spending as a key reason for California's staggering shortfall and their conviction that Davis should be tossed out of office.

How about the new highway named for Clinton in his home stste of Arkansas? It's a little crooked, and has a long yellow streak down the center. Be careful if you drive on it, it's a little slick.

Manufacturers announced today that they will be stocking America's shelves this week with "Clinton Soup, to honor one of the nation's most distingushed men". It consists primariy of a weenie in hot water.

I thought Davis and crew excoriated Enron for this same same thing.

I don't believe the cuts Peace talks about are real cuts. They are what democrats call cuts, you know....

Peace projected that he would spend 9% more next year than this year, but he is ONLY going to spend 4% more. This means he has cut his budjet 5%, right?

So instead of claiming a 4% increase in spending Dems call it a 5% cut. Aren't they clever(deceitful)?
