Ironically, it doesnt meet any of the tests of the so-called Balanced Budget Amendment the administration is sponsoring as Proposition 58 which may explain why that proposal contains more escape clauses than Britney Spears wedding vows."No WAY! DON'T PULL THIS THREAD ADMIN MODERATOR, Please!!!
This is so good, it bares repeating over and over and over AGAIN!!!

I missed it before!
Now this is something:
From McClintock:
The total savings and improved services -- inherent in these reforms would make balancing future budgets much easier. But enacting them in time for next years budget is the most difficult and demanding task that any California governor has faced in nearly a century. Judging from his public comments, Gov. Schwarzenegger understands this and judging by his actions to date, he has the singular determination and focus to succeed.

It's ok. I've missed several good postings even though I spend way too much time on this site. I get kinda tickled when I see someone pounce on those who re-post something.
One reason I see no problem is that on some re-postings, a whole slew of great new comments come out that would just be burried on a long thread that many don't have time to plod through.
I'm noticing a strange quiet among the membership of the "Posse" of late. Tis pleasant after the beligerent thrashing and trashing that occurred during the Recall campaign of furious fomenting and flaming.

It sounds as if McClintock is impressed at key elements of Schwarzenegger's plan :-)
To that end, the Governor has outlined a series of sweeping changes in the fundamental structure of the government. They have received scant attention in the pundits race to dissect budget numbers but are the most profound and far-reaching parts of the proposal, and if adopted this year, all of the infirmities of his 2004-05 budget will soon be forgotten.
The centerpiece of his State of the State address was his proposal for a Performance Review Commission. The recommendations of previous commissions have simply been ignored, but if it is given real teeth to effect a reorganization of the bureaucracies blowing up boxes, as he put it it promises to be one of the most significant reforms in two generations.
But thats just the start. The Governor has also proposed a constitutional amendment to provide for the contracting out of state services, he has demanded real workers compensation reform, and he has taken the first steps to bring Californias welfare rules into conformity with the federal welfare reform act. He is pushing to transfer funds from the sink-hole of school finance categorical programs directly into the classroom and to restore management of those funds to the people directly involved in classroom instruction.

McClintock is correct in one sense, the constant budgetary problems are a symptom not the cause. Simply look at those individuals presently holding office. They have achieved "Rights." Now California is experiencing what they do with those "Rights!"
