I know you know this, so it's rather odd me having to mention it. If every Republican voted for this plan, would it pass if the dems couldn't sign on? You can only do what you can do. I don't know all aspects of this budget. I do know it's next to impossible to drive anything of a conservative nature through that state house. Just about anything this governor drives through that we can get behind, that is resonable from a conservative point of view, we should be thankful for.

Agreed in principle. However this budget is not reasonable from a conservative point of view. If you call this budget reasonable (Arnold's proposed reforms notwithstanding), you would logically have to call Gray Davis' last budget reasonable as well.

As I recall, one of the main points of Arnie's Angels here on FR involved Republican control of the governor's veto.

So where's the beef when it is needed?
