Actually, Arnold completely outclassed the other candidates with their vote pandering gimmicks. The politicians have the solutions before they know the problems, statesmen find out what the problems are and fix them. Sure we all want are illegal vehicle taxes back, but that ain't gonna fix the overspending. Getting a group of independent accountants to go over the budget is a great first step. Then it's time for the line item veto pen!

Well said.

>>>The politicians have the solutions before they know the problems, statesmen find out what the problems are and fix them.

Not true.

Good politicians like Ronald Reagan, went in with a detailed plan and specific agenda. And to be a statesman, you first have to be successful.

So far, Arnold has given no details or specifics on how he would balance the budget and exactly what programs he would cut. He also hasn't ruled out raising taxes. I don't consider Arnold a fiscal conservative.

>>>Sure we all want are illegal vehicle taxes back, but that ain't gonna fix the overspending.

I suggest you take a look at Tom McClintock's website. he gives specifics on a wide range of issues.

McClintok says, a 9.5% cut in spending over an 18 month period, will balance the budget with no tax increases ... " accompanied by a comprehensive review of every state agency and program now on the books".... and he wants the "constitutional spending limit ... restored".

I like McClintock's economic plan. Its conservative and fiscally responsible. McClintok also has a plan to address the car tax, Cal's energy problems and the issue related to workers compensation.

At this point of the campaign, any conservative who supports a liberal like Schwarzenegger, needs their head examined.
