LOL Dysphoric!

Yes-- you have to write off your buddy Mitt! The irony! All the money he has can&#039;t buy him even a ride in Air Force One! And to think a black man-community organizer and Senator CAN ! I bet that eats the doomera alive!

					<description><![CDATA[The current lower fuel prices will camouflage the cap and trade tax starting in January on California fuel only, as NO OTHER STATE will see that tax.  The hidden gas tax is another great way to hit the financially challenged with another cost! Lower income folks spend more as a percentage of their income on energy and work in industries that are most impacted by job losses.  

According to the Board of Equalization the 1.24 gallons PER DAY of transportation fuels for each of our 38 million citizens equates to a usage of 47 million gallons of fuel per day. Based on our current fuel usage this “hidden tax” now projected at only 10 cents a gallon will generate almost $5,000,000 dollars a DAY for the government.  The projected larger increases in fuel costs resulting from CARB’s cap and trade on our fuels for Californians ONLY will obviously generate even a greater cash cow for Governor Brown. 

AB32 was implemented in 2006 when CA contributed a minuscule 1% to the worlds GHG’s.  Now 8 years later CARB has raised billions of dollars for the CA government and we have higher costs for energy and higher costs for every industry that relies on energy and the by-products from oil and we still have that same 1% minuscule contribution to the World’s GHG’s.  

In the past 40 years, California&#039;s population has nearly doubled to its present 38 million, but the air quality has gotten better, not worse.   

The primary things that CARB and AB32 have done, and will continue to do, are to generate millions of dollars of income to the government at the expense of the financially challenged.]]></description>

Poor Willard. He&#039;s left to spend the rest of his days cavorting in one of his mansions, trapped in the lap of fabulous luxury (he&#039;s worth even more than the Clintons) and flying too and fro in his private fleet of long term lease luxury jets. It must have been a difficult decision for a consistent political loser to make. 

Don&#039;t worry though, cuz Jeb will battle it out with Billary to determine which noxious, dynastic oligarch continues to run the country into the ground while B_tch slapping the middle class like a twenty dollar hooker.

So chew your lotus leaves and be content with your lot, peasants.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Baldassare is a fairly typical center left academic so naturally his advice to the commission if full of false hope, platitudinous advice and business as usual foolishness. Besides, The Little Hoover Commission is a pointless dog and pony show. It has no power over those who actually run the state, which is to say government employee union bosses, totalitarian environmentalists, bay area oligarchs, illegal alien activists, and ethnic hustlers.

Gore Vidal said we get the government we deserve but that is only true for the majority of voters and they are a tiny, gerrymandered minority of the states population. 

Especially in Crazyfornia politicians choose their voters, not the other way around. So in that sense it doesn&#039;t matter what voters do or what survey results say. 

I&#039;m no fan of the disingenuous and slimy academic fraud Jonathan Gruber but he was absolutely correct about his fellow Americans. They are functionally stupid, if not literally so. Don&#039;t think so? Consider this - Oklahoma State Univ. recently conducted a poll in which 80% of respondents favored mandatory warning labels for DNA in food! Is there any doubt that a similar number of Americans would favor banning Dihydrogen Monoxide as a dangerous chemical? I bet most California voters don&#039;t even know who represents them in Sacramento. In fact, I bet they don&#039;t even know Sacramento is the state capitol. 

Most human adults are just too ignorant, gullible, complacent and hopelessly wrongheaded to be useful as voters. It&#039;s the fatal flaw of all democracies.]]></description>

So we here in the mom and apple pie USA are getting a taste of our own medicine, eh? The epic meddling of the US State Dept. and CIA via NGO&#039;s in the politics of Russia, China, Brazil, Ukraine, Greece, Armenia, Georgia, etc etc etc is very well documented. You think all those &#039;color revolutions&#039; just happen spontaneously? Really?]]></description>
