This has been an extremely closed government. Ask anyone who has tried to work with them – they are practically overtly hostile to small business. Arnold Schwarzenegger was once the guy who said, “I want your ideas, and the more radical the better” but never considered any ideas other then from government employees or his own corporate cronies. Unfortunately, he fell far short of his promise to be a for all the people”.

I remember reading a story about the fierce mongol horsemen, who swept down from the northern Asia plains intending to destroy China’s cities. Instead, they ended up on the emperor’s throne, and then grew old and corrupt in the land they had once conquered. While most people think Schwarzenegger is probably an nice guy, that is his story here – he grew old and corrupt in an land – California – that he had once conquered.
