“Well said— The structural problems did indeed start waaaay before Brown!”

Clown is a walking structural problem. He invented structural problems. No wonder Linda Ronstadt dumped him. My guess is that he had structural problems head to toe! 🙂

“It’s unfair to blame it on Brown. This started long before his second term”

No it’s not. Clown perpetuated a ‘play for pay’ political system that virtually destroyed a vibrant, thriving economy. Clown is directly responsible (along with others) for the mess that we find ourselves in. To deny that is to live in a factually challenged world.

“Seems to me that the guy who started all this mess,
Jerry Brown, will be present at the end. Justice??”

Poetic justice. And I hope when he dies that he dies a broken man.

Ted wrote, “I am voting for the temp tax hike…”.

I am voting NO on the tax increases, despite believing we can’t cut our way out of this deficit. If I felt the Governor and the Democratic majority really wanted to hunker down, stop spending and get the deficit cleared up, I might well vote for it.

But they don’t. The Governor is dead set on increasing spending- his unwavering support for High Speed Rail being the best example. If he were to say we simply couldn’t afford HSR, or any new government projects, until we have a sustainable, balanced budget, I might bite on the tax increase. He won’t, so I won’t.

And let’s not make the mistake that it will be a temporary increase. Once it’s here, it’s here.

Beez wrote, “California should be a textbook study unto itself in every college political science textbook in the nation. It should be REQUIRED reading.”

The problem with that is they’d teach the problem was only because we made it too hard to raise taxes.

Californias version of socialism is slowly dyeing.
The state can only raise taxes (makes the problem worse)
or cut spending. The real pain is yet to be experienced.
Further economic downturn in ’13/’14 will bring on cuts
to expenditures by an additional 25 to 30 percent.

Seems to me that the guy who started all this mess,
Jerry Brown, will be present at the end. Justice??

When will voters wake up??

Greece and California
Incompetents running both governments
Entitlements from cradle to grave
Businesses and taxpayers exiting all that is left are the poor and the Hollywood types
Until all governments realize what their true role is: Police, fire, roads, flood and not schools, welfare, medical and serving the unions nothing will happen
