Norm and Karl, I pinged you only to make the comment that this is why I was opposed to our recall here in California. The Dims get to hide behind a nominal Republican governor. I'd much rather than control everything so, like in NJ, they have nowhere to hide. Although what's done is done, I honestly think we shot ourselves in the foot with that recall. Sigh.
Thanks, Wolfstar, I understand your feelings on the Recall, and acknowledge that while things may appear to some to now be headed the right direction, in fact, nothing much has changed. If anything, things are getting worse.
The rate of spending has increased and is reflective of the gullibility and general apathy of the voters of this state.
This 'borrow and spend' your way to prosperity hasn't worked before and likely will not work in this case either.
