But it's their own poor budgeting that got them in the mess.

So you are telling that because the liberals of California demanded socialist policies for the whole country and got their wish and then found out that they (as well as many other people not in California) had to pay for it all, they now want their money back? too bad, soo sad.. no....You cause the problems in this country and now the problems in your own state, you deserve NOTHING... I am still paying for your socialist policies, do I get my money back?

Suddenly blowing up Iraq is a liberal policy? Wow, that's news to me!

What state do you live in exactly?

Also a lot of the issues that are hurting CA are federal issues we don't have much control over. There are problems your state doesn't touch because you probably live in flyover country.

Undocumented people are citizens, too. I know you'd like to see them starve, but this is America and we are a humane civilization. I know it not palatable, but we'll have to pony-up for everyone in te great state of California. Think about that next time you take your kids to Disney World.

All of the right-wingers ousted Gray Davis and got Arnold - now they are beaching about that too.
