No, we do not believe a word of his rhetoric. All his assumptions, estimates, calculations, forecasts have proven terrible, undeniably wrong.
As far as I concerned the people of California deserve the economic condition of their state. They choose to sit and let the government create liberal spending programs they could not afford.

I resent this, because we are about to share that boat, and I don't deserve a lick of it, I have been fighting it tooth and nail.

Whoa there buddy. California is a HUUUUGE state and not everyone is gung ho about more taxes and spending. Did you hear the results of our last prop vote in May?? NO to every last one of them. The people of California are sick of getting taxed and are in the process of voting these people out. Unfortunately, LA and San Francisco have more power than we the 'little people' do, and they vote for the stupid crap that gets the rest of us in trouble.

They're wising up though... slowly but surely.

I especially like this part of the article:

The federal picture is so bleak because the Obama administration is the most fiscally irresponsible in the history of the U.S. I would imagine that he would be the intergalactic champion as well, if we could gather the data on deficits on other worlds. Obama has taken George W. Bush’s inattention to deficits and elevated it to an art form.

It proves that the Obamatrons are clueless. It was bad when Bush did it, but when Obama does it, it is great. All in the name of government power. Proving once again that the road to hell is paved with good intentions, both in California and now the Federal government.

Musta been before time, period. And it ain't just politics. Indeed, my boss' only qualification for the job is his wife.

True, but Calif and other states like Michigan are perfect examples of what happens when the dems/libs get control and implement their ruinous policies.

I completely agree with this, but I'm just jumping in to curb the attacks coming. When either party is aloud to get their way all the time with no checks bad things happen. What we need is the government to just take it easy, let us do s**t on our own.

That is not the dem/lib way. More government, more intrusion, more restrictions.
