Financial advise, i.e. how to cut the cost of state government is what CA needs now. Some of Buffet's bean counters could probably give some good ideas

You mean..cut the cost of govt and/or raise revenue through taxation. Buffet has no problem with taxing as a means of revenue "enhancement",and his "billionareness" provides cover for Arnold to do exactly that. Beware, beware. This could give Republicanism an even worse name than it has already.

Exactly! What are Pres. Bush's chances going to be in California if Republicans become known there as the party of even higher taxes?

Could be. I don't really have a dog in this fight and don't especially care who is the next gov out there. But considering the mood of the people right now, it seems that a "tax increase" would only start another recall. All I'm saying is that Buffett is a good financial guy but on economics he is a zero which doesn't much matter on a state basis. Yes, I would go ballistic if W were to name him as a Fed economic advisor. He would be a menace on the Federal level.
