Arnold sold himself as a fiscal conservative. Many trusted him.

He lied.

We got screwed.

End of story.

IIRC, there was an election where Ahnold floated initiatives to try to limit spending. These initiatives seemed like a reasonable compromise, IMO, the best one could hope for in California, and I thought they would pass.

Not only were these initiatives defeated, they were crushed. Ahnold got the message - the voters don't want fiscal responsibility.

But I'd still rather have him as Governor than have the alternative - A MAPA activist with a room-temperature IQ.
