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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
“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.
——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.
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.
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!
