.. $103 billion spending plan, which relies heavily on borrowing and does not contain hundreds of millions in savings that Schwarzenegger had sought when he promised to wipe out reckless spending in Sacramento..

Unless he vetos bukkoo stuff,, it looks like a big cave-ola on the old ranch-ola by a hollywood uhhmmmm.. -ola

Now we will hear the whines from the moderates that he did the best he could with what had to work with.

DUhhh!

Submit a budget and whack the appropriations that exceed the terms using a line-item veto.

That's the job description. If he didn't want to be governor, he shouldn't have run.

Instead our fearless Terminator pretends to solve the problem by whishing in one hand and leaving the bill in another (for later) while foisting the pain on local government.

What a gutless weasel.

Schwarzenegger should have submitted a revised budget for the current fiscal year within a week of having been elected, simply whacking 9% from every department across the board. Had he done that, the problem wouldn't have been nearly so deep. Instead, he rolls over the debt, borrows massively, and caves to the Democrats when they find a way to spend it. All without significant layoffs or privatization.

Some "fiscal conservative."

Giving MORE money to education is mistake numero uno. More money doesn't produce results. Never has, never will.

Of suggestions that the governor's budget overspends in a similar
manner as past budgets under former Gov. Gray Davis, Stutzman said
the governor is "satisfied that he's pushed back as hard as he can" against
Democrats' demands for more spending and GOP calls for even deeper cuts.

What a Wimp.

More people will be moving out. The exodus is already underway, liberals will get their dream state, everyone will be on the dole.

So now the conservatives are the bad guys according to Governor Rinold. This is exactly what we were predicting would happen...
