The deficit in California is greater than the defecits in the other 49 states combined.

Then it certainly must be Bush's fault!! Just kidding!

I am gonna keep doing the index thing. I have faith that John and Jim will take care of us!

Operating Systems and Computer Applications are notorious(infamous?) for taking much effort to build. But young John has a great track record!

"We believe that we have a spending problem," Cox said. "The governor identifies the problem as a revenue problem. We don't think that you can fix this problem without acknowledging that we in fact have a spending problem."

OF COURSE he wants to define the problem as a revenue shortfall. What galls me about the reporting I've seen on this, is that NOBODY is talking about the spending (except in generalities): an incredible 36% over three years! Dufus is a rank amatuer as Governer, and is ruining (has ruined?) this State's economy.

Lazy "journalists" are simply printing the stories that are given them by the administration. They don't bother to 1) Challenge the information, or 2) Look for other angles. They get away with ignoring the fact that Dufus increased spending so much. According to Senator Mcklintock (sp?), if over this same period spending had increased only by the combination of inflation and population growth, even given Dufus' expert handling of the energy crisis, we would be sitting on a $15-20B SURPLUS this year.

And when is the media going to start covering the fact that, since Enron only supplied 3% of California's energy during the "crisis", it was actually PUBLIC utilities, such as LA Power, etc. that actually "overcharged" the State of California.

Gotta go. Oh, BTW, looks like Dufus has learned from "the master", releasing the bad news on the Friday preceding a holiday weekend.
