"You know Tom doesn't mention cutting the 4 things you listed in your Demo canard, and that's patently obvious."

Please review all my posts - Tom never mentions ANYTHING specific - so how does he even know he can cut 9.5% ( a pretty specific number )

I mentioned things that he will NOT be able to cut, which are some of the biggest money wasters.
If he cannot or will not cut ther, just where are the cuts coming from ?
He must have some idea - or perhaps he will use his plan of letting some outside management experts do his work for him ? ( and take the blame if theings go sour )

Which of the 100+ gubernatorial candidates does?

so how does he even know he can cut 9.5% ( a pretty specific number )

It's called a target... a goal... it needs to be specific to give focused attention, and to indicate success. Duh.

Why do you harangue McClintock supporters with silly questions like this?

Actually, he can cut education if he cuts everything else. Prop 98 mandated school funding be a certain percentage of the budget, so cutting everything else will allow education spending to be cut, too.

CA spends more than most states, per pupil, but a larger pecentage goes to bureacracy that doesn't help students. Davis tried to cut education several years ago, when he was still a "centrist." Spending has since skyrocketted, but quality hasn't improved, so there must be much to reduce, such as the sensitivity training classes.

I see your point of contention now. It is a good one. (I was beginning to think you were implying that he said he was cutting the untouchedable ones, although I have heard him say that he plans on cutting education spending by forcing $s to only spent at a local level, and giving Principles more authority over their school. Sorry I can't remember more specifics)

I hate to sound like an apologist, but if you asked him I'm sure he would tell you. I agree that I wish he would put more on the website, like the specifics he does indeed layout on talk radio interviews.

I understand you cynicism about "what" he wants to cut, (look at Ahrnold) don't lose that, but seek out him in interviews listed on the site and the upcoming debates. I think you will find the answers you are looking for there. The guy doesn't duck questions.
