I voted 3-4 years to pummel the GOP mess into submission, driving its enemies before it and hearing the lamentation of its subjugated women. The Republicans sure know how to create a financial holocaust.
As an aside, if Texas secedes, perhaps the federal funding that was directed to that population to maintain the Federal courts, parks, prisons, military, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, etc. there would be re-directed to California (except for Austin).
The GOP tactic of destroying good union jobs, outsourcing, cutting taxes for corporations and the wealthy, instituting regressive taxation, etc. is a tribute to their monumental greed. I'm glad California voted for common sense and a team effort. Always ahead, California.
I have high hopes for California as well under Governor Jerry Brown. Things are starting to improve.
We all know the only real fiscal conservatives left are actually democrats after all every single republican we've had in office has done nothing but spend spend spend. That's why I laugh when I hear about say Romney who would reign in spending yet he would also increase defense spending. They are bs artists is all that they are and they should change there names to the welfare queen party. Simply because that is what they are they are driving around in fancy cars while there homes fall apart on them.
actually the mess came from the democrat legislature and gray davis,,,,davis was the goveror that got recalled...was also the chief of staff under jerry brown( Governor) in late 70's early 80's
arnie could get much done with the dumbocrats in the legistature
After the disastrous 8 years of a Republican governor in California, it looks like things are slightly improving under Governor Jerry Brown. He inherited a HUGE mess left by the GOP (just like Obama is cleaning up the Bush droppings).
California now leads the nation in job growth, and unemployment is declining. It's great news, considering how it was doing just fine before Arnold completely destroyed it.
The Democrats are the cause of the mess in California.
The first step in recovery is acceptance.
So, the real question is - when are the Democrats going to realize that taxing and spending other people's money like a drunken sailor won't ever work?
It's astounding the lengths liberal democrats will go to, to avoid taking responsibility for what their party has done. GOP mess in California? You expect anyone to take you seriously? You think the absolute rock solid majority the democrats have had in state politics have nothing to do with the state of the state?
How long will it take Brown to fix California? Never, he'll continue the liberal policies that got the state in trouble and it will not be "fixed".
Well, CA is number one again, for the number of poor a state has.
