" #1 California under Davis grew the state government by 40% I read the other day. That accounts for a lot of our problems right there.
#2 We also allow illegals to access out public funds to pay for illegals education and health care. That is billions a year right there.
#3 Davis also budgeted like the stock market would never stop it's unrealistic rise and revenue to California. "

You say that like those are bad things? See, when you hand over your freedom to daddy government, they don't just stop at cigarettes. Gov't has an insatiable appetite. It's also health care, and since they pay for that, they ban cigarettes, 'cause it makes the health care costs go up. Then they tell you what you can eat, you know heart disease and all, and so on, and so on.

One day, they ban something you LIKE, and you just can't believe how that happened. The funny thing is, you supported it all along. All the while, they take 60-70% of your earnings to pay for it. SUCKER!

What you say is irrational, that has nothing to do with handing over freedom to government.
Davis was "elected" I am sad to say. He wasn't "GIVEN" anything.

Nobody is stopping cigarettes anywhere but in indoor public places where it causes some to go on medication, others to have to have tens of dollars paid to get the smell of smoke out of their clothes.
Cigarettes don't pay for health care at all and I think if anything awards were assimilated into the general budget.

One thing to keep in mind would be the near end of lung cancer and many other cancers if smokers quit. Wouldn't be the worst thing to happen Rep of Tex.

Unpaid Mandates are illegal, as far as I know. They should be fought against. For example, the state shouldn't have the legal thoughoughfare to mandate that counties have the duty to pay for the Medicare benefits that the state says they should.

Likewise, the Feds don't have the right to determine state laws, except, of course those determined in the Constitution.
