Maybe Mr. Shriever-Kennedy-Schwarzenegger will simply cut Los Angeles and San Francisco loose?

I think the cuts would be against the billions given away to illegals first. Of course it would be politically in correct to say the majority of the so called poor are illegals.

“Government doesn’t provide services to rich people,” Mike Genest, the state’s finance director, said on a conference call with reporters on Friday. “It doesn’t even really provide services to the middle class.”

The welfare state in a nutshell.

Yes it does provide services to the rich and middle class. It keeps them safe by putting criminals in prison and provides state parks for their recreation.

Of course, the first services to be taken away are always "services to the blind and the poor, libraries, art museums and fire and police protection. There, you bully citizen voters, take that!

The cuts Mr. Schwarzenegger has proposed to make up the difference, if enacted by the Legislature, would turn California into a place that in some ways would be unrecognizable in modern America:

Leave the current leadership in charge of California and see what happens. They're already turning California into a place that's unrecognizable! Schwarzenegger is making a threat. Plain and simple.

...poor children would have no health insurance...

What the hell is Barack the Kenyan doing with his new 61 cents per pack cigarette tax? "Poor children" should have more "health insurance" than you can shake a stick at. In this state, Arizona and the Feds are now getting 1.20 per pack for Communist healthcare for "the children."

I think that’s a map of the great United States of Texas.

Sure thing, arnolD. Turn prisoners loose but don't even consider cutting any or all of the $7-10 billion spent annually on ILLEGAL ALIENS.

Liberals got California into this mess. Let them suffer politically the consequences.

Check that! It should read $1.41 per pack.
