$8 billion deficeit? I think that's more than the entire budget of Ohio.
And its til 2008. Which basically crimps the Rats high living lifestyle. Freepers learn to love the word "budget deficit." Its a blessing in disguise for the taxpayers.
The budget defecit in California is $23 billion, not $8 billion. The $8 billion is only for FY 2001.
The deficit in California is greater than the defecits in the other 49 states combined.
This should be news, but the media are deliberately ignoring it, IMHO.
