I recall when the first Illinois "Tollway" was built. We were told the tolls would be used to pay for the project, and would disappear in 5 years. Decades later, we're still paying them, and, boy, have they gone up.
Like a firebug the fool returned to the scene of the crime to watch the state burn. Now he'll preside over the collapse.
Democrats are insane. Brown is an example. He won the election with the help of communists rats spinning the most vial crap against Meg. She would have probably used her ebay business experience brought back fiscal programs that might have saved California. California is beyond hope with the MSM and the Hollywood nuts pushing communists/Marxist/socialists I don’t see how it can ever survive.
She would not have been able to change anything if she had won. The dem’s in the state house would have seen to that. But she still would have gotten all the blame for the eventual collapse.
Don’t ya just love it when what goes around comes around?
Can you believe that the people of CA, not satisfied with the damage Moonbeam did during his first stint as Governor, would give him another shot at it? WTF....???? Did they think the zebra’s stripes had changed??
I think Jerry’s caught in the headlights of that train to nowhere. Perhaps Linda Ronstadt will do a fund raiser concert that nobody will come to.
Brown presiding over the collapse may just be his goal.
And he can get away with blaming someone else.
And he can get a crisis to take advantage of.
Sounds like our halfrican dictator.
Calif is actually 35 billion in the hole when you factor in illegal alien give aways and hidden cost within the base line economic phony bookeeping. Brown was and is a fool and a crook.
Kalifornistan better speed up building that high speed rail line so the passenger revenues from it can help balance their budget!
Do I really need a /sarcasm tag?
Now, here's the dirty little secrets about I-Pass. At the time of registration for I-Pass you have to open an account for your I-Pass with the state and pay into it a certain amount to fund your debits as you motor through the toll plazas. When your I-Pass account gets to a certain level, the state “reminds” you to fill ‘er up or pay the full toll at the manual lanes (currently TWICE the toll the I-Pass owner pays).
How well does I-Pass work? During its first 18 months of operation, I-Pass transponders were not recognized by the toll plazas and and about 50 percent of the then I-Pass users were sent tickets for not paying at the toll plazas (license plates were dutifully recorded by the “scofflaw” cameras there and tickets were mailed out). After convincing the authorities it was their toll plaza equipment that was malfunctioning, the tickets were rescinded and I-Pass got fixed. However, nonusers of I-Pass still are nailed twice the toll rate that I-Pass users pay to use the same roads.
We have I-Pass on our two vehicles. While we don’t travel the tollways a lot, it saves us paying double the fee, so over time it’ll be something of a savings. Especially after the fees doubled a year or so ago.
She would not have been able to change anything if she had won. The dem’s in the state house would have seen to that. But she still would have gotten all the blame for the eventual collapse.
Expand that phenomenon to a national scale and you'll see what will happen if Romney wins in November. The GOPe won't want to rock the boat and will only keep kicking the can down the road, and the DemocRATs are salivating at the possibility of declaring "Well, it's Romney's economy now!"
The vast majority of voters in this state weren't here during Brown's last term. They were yet to be born, or in the third world where socialism is considered de rigour.
5.California needs to stop all entitlements to illegals
never have so many worked so hard to destroy a state and its citizenry and their businesses in quest of golden eggs and green shoots.
from energy deregulation to excessive business regulations, from dumbing down a population of mushheads and elevating an army of misguided enviroweinies in its place.. one can only beg the question. what is the end game? a return to the dark ages? anything less seems to excite few on the left.
I prefer Brown over Meg Whitman. She would have been a horrible governor, IMO.
Like an alcoholic or drug addict, California will not change it’s ways until they hit rock bottom. And like most alcoholics or drug addicts, it will be too late.
My goal is to defeat the insanity of Keyensian Economics in “both” of our very sorry political parties THIS YEAR!
This can be accomplished by choosing a stellar Dark Horse Nominee, such as R-Rep. West of Florida, to slaughter Obama in a November Landslide.
The key is to FORCE the GOP-E to allow for an OPEN Convention in Tampa. Without an OPEN Convention the SOS of INSANE Federal Spending will keep America on the same crowded track with Greece, and Kalifornia.
There are over 15, 000, 000, 000, 000 reasons why spending more money this year than was taken in during the previous year is an INSANE path to financial destruction.
Neither Obama or Romney have presented a plan to spend our Federal dollars in a non-insane manner.
For example, the GOP Elite have stood in line to endorse Romney, endorse “The Ryan Budget,” and compromise-away every opportunity to reduce Federal Spending.
I included the Ryan Budget, because Rep. Paul Ryan himself says that his “Budget” will balance in 30 YEARS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BTW, I added those exclamation points, because both you and I know that Ryan’s budget will NEVER balance, and thus never be a fact. The exclamation points are just for volume emphasis.
Meg Whitman is a rotten globalist. The republican party keeps running rino globalists and that’s why they keep losing in this state.
