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."
Well I won't say "I told you so!"
Like I said last year "Ya can't be a fiscal conservative and a social liberal at the same time. Ya gotta pay for those programs somehow!!!"
You all remember my McClintock campaign slogan from last year?
"Vote 4 McClintock or Pay$ the Con$equence$!"
Well the check has come and we're stuck paying the tab!
That 13% Solution sure is looking sweet eehhhh, FReepers!
Happy Fourth of July, FReepers!
And don't forget to hoist those Stars & Stripes!!!
Semper Fi,
