Default Jerry Brown, the kind of governor that makes you proud to be a Californian

The one thing I like about ol' Moonbeam is that, well, let's just say he keeps you on your toes.

"Moonbeam", thank you for using that word, and acknowledging that he was a generation ahead of his time, then, and is a generation ahead of his time, now.

I am guessing though, that you would be happier in Louisiana, with an anti federal government governor begging for federal aid.

I don't think the name Moonbeam is used as a compliment. I'm waiting for the usual answer from the left when their guy shows a lack of integrity. What's the usual reply? "Your guy does it too - he does it worse than my guy".

Yet, the word originated in Jerry Brown's far thinking. Something the dullards of the day could not quite get their heads around.

Today, we can see that he was ahead of his time. Therefore, the word, the end result of the processes that led to the word, have made life better for us all.

Using the term is a compliment, even though, those for whom beliefs are preferred to facts, can't quite get their heads around it.

Context, you lack it.

Old Moonbean, New Moonbean, Blue Moonbean, I'm offering this article for information only. What will be will be, but one thing is certain, we can't continue to tax the people of this state the way we have been. We are paying more and getting less. We can't continue to kick the can down the road and at the end of the road build a new road. That's what Jerry Brown is proposing.
