California will not change until we can stop the vote fraud.
Even the idiot FDR would not have let “public” servants unionize. He knew what would happen. why pay for this nonsense? Liberals do! Keep teachers that cant teach, protect those that shouldn’t have a job to begin with.
I am a libertarian and I do not think that the federal government should have anything to do with education.
They cannot even balance the budget. liberals suck.
They are counting on the feds to eventually bail them out.
She would've ran into the same brick wall that Schwarzenegger faced: California's overwhelming liberal democrat State legislature supported by powerful unions that roadblocked any real reform.
Meg Whitman was the latest squishy moderate to infatuate the GOP-e. She would have been just another Democrat-lite Republican in the mold of Schwarzenegger.
As has been posted on this forum many times, the best thing we can hope for is gigantic earthquake to slide California into the ocean. Why do we keep beating this dear horse, when we have no hopes of ever fixing the problem??

“If Brown continues to suck up to the public unions responsible for the mess California is in, expect still more businesses to leave, expect the unemployment rate to rise, and expect a continued plunge in revenue.”
...and those vested in California will see their investments ie; property decline in value, and become even more difficult to sell.
As a long time resident of CA, we need to blame all the MORONs who keep voting for these socialist idiots. CA will have to go bankrupt, but even then the moron voters will likely keep electing socialist. Last one leaving CA, turn out the lights!
So, when that happens, where will you post your other ideas, since FeeeRepublic would be gone?
Make that FREE Republic!
Several years ago, the IL Tollway Authority sent me a nasty letter about unpaid tolls on I-294 around Chicago. After digging into this, I found that the license plate was on a Jeep Wrangler registered in one of the Chicago suburbs (I had a Jeep Grand Cherokee). The license was close, but not mine (nor had I been anywhere near Chicago on the dates they cited).
I wrote these idiots a nastygram that would curl your hair. I laid out the facts, gave them the phone number of the DMV person that helped me research the offender's plate, and told them that any further action by them would be run through my attorney for legal recourse. I never heard another word from the IL Tollway Authority.
Shortly after this incident, it came to light the IL Tollway Authority was running a scam to see how many gullible people they could collect money from for things they had not done.
I hate the political scum that run this state. If I could sink both Cook and Sangamon Counties into a black hole in space, the other 100 counties in IL would cure 99 percent of their problems.
——Lawmakers and others were hoping that a rebounding economy would help the state avoid steep cuts to social services.-——
I get it. They were expecting the economic recovery that automatically follows every recession, regardless of public policy.
Any liberal could make that idiotic assumption.
Which is precisely why it is so important this year for the Republican party to get their candidates elected to Congress and the Senate. Otherwise, if Romney does become president and, inevitably, the SHTF— the stink will be all over him and his party!
I’m with you on that. My wife manages a chain retail store in Rockford, and travels to other stores in her region on a somewhat frequent basis. That means paying tolls in many instances, or else severe additional time logged in travel. We live in Rochelle, so have both a tollway (I-88) and Interstate (I-39) right at our fingertips. She uses I-39 daily to get to work, and I-88 or I-90 fairly frequently to get to other stores. So, the I-Pass saves in that respect.
But, you’re right. This state sucks big time. And it’s all because of 3 small areas (in geographical area) that control the state with their socialist politics. We’re next to California in terms of being close to the glory hole, and that’s downright scary. Especially with the idiots in power.
I have a nephew and his wife living in Chicago. Other relatives in the near-burbs. I’ll go as far in as Oak Park infrequently (where I was born), but that’s it. South, North or West is fine. Especially North (I grew up in South-Eastern Wisconsin).
Bear in mind that Governor Brown helped ruin California with public union collective bargaining rights in his first stint as governor, in the 70’s.
The Educational Employment Relations Act of 1976, established collective bargaining in California’s public schools and community colleges
The Ralph C. Dills Act of 1978 established collective bargaining for state government employees
The Higher Education Employer-Employee Relations Act of 1979, extended collective bargaining to the state university system. “
If FReepers knew how many of these employees earn over 100,000 per year.....and how many earn 200-400,000 per year
they would explode. Brown did all of this in the mid to late 1970’s.
I doubt that that’s true....most Californian’s well remember Moonbeam and his zany antics from the mid-70s to the mid-80s.
They chose to elect him again and deserve what’s coming. Maybe the rest of the country will sit up and take notice once CA declares bankruptcy and begins defaulting on those inflated union salaries, pensions and medical benefits and liberal social welfare programs.
No sympathy! They voted for what they got.
Next there will be a call for the Fed. (you and me) to bail the Californuts out. Don’t let it happen!
If you live in Ca. get out now!
The second part of your post is correct.
You mean, like Obama right?
San Francisco and Los Angeles controls the vote in California. The Rural counties tend to be solidly republican, but when you have a few million zanies and illegal immigrants voting themselves bread and circus's, while simultaneously voting out your ability to farm, mine, log or manufacture you get...
California
