I haven't seen much contrition from all the Freepers who "just knew" Arnold was going to raise taxes.

Wait till the bond fails.

No he hasn't raised taxes yet...but has jacked up many fees, some several hundered percent, which to me, is the same thing as a tax increase....

and lets not forget, the key to getting his whole plan to work is to BORROW $15,000,000,000 to pay for what CA couldn't otherwise afford....

Now if he had not planned on BORROWING money to pay for things, then maybe, just maybe, I'd have an ounce of respect for what he is trying to do. Every dollor borrowed today is a future tax dollar that needs to be collected (plus interest).

These Bonds ARE Demicrat squandering Taxes WITH HIGH YIELD INTEREST!!! What's to be contrite about?

Sorry LS, but a bond is as good as a tax raise. More money going to the state, only with a bond, the government gets the money first, THEN the taxpayers have to pay for it PLUS interest, instead of the other way round.

There's revenue increase to the state, revenue neutral, and revenue reduction. That's it. Any other names (fees, bonds etc) are distractions for the suckers.

Tell me this. When he goes after the Indian Casino Money, is he going to reduce everyone else's taxes so that the revenue to the state remains neutral, or is he going to leave everyone's taxes where they are, make it a revenue increase, AND JUST RAISE TAXES ON THE INDIANS?????
