If it had just been 17 or 18 members, we would be out of this economic jam in California.
Better a RINO than a Democrat. This is why we made the right decision in electing Arnold - to get government off our backs.
Drs. Friedman and Laffer are the only two he needs :)
What a great list of economic conservatives, I was so happy to see Mr. Buffett no where on this list.
Wow, what a list of RINOs. Huh? There not RINOs? Hmmmmmmm.
By the way, that Rhino Horn ain't no good for yer sex life, neither! It's like that old myth of your's about a RINO bein better than a Dem no matter what. Heck we din't git no CONservancy when Davis was Gubernor. Even he, as dumb as he was, had the sense to veto it!!!
A bold move. But it's what I expected of Arnold. He is doing exactly what he promised to do.
Arnold more than deserved our vote!
I have a phd in economics and know most of those chaps. A pretty solid group. 95% of economists think about the same, growth is the result of low taxes, low regulation stable money supply and the enforcement of property taxes. This group will propose sensible positive change- seems like another smart move by our governor.
Arnold is going to need a lot of help to straighten out the mess the Dims have made of California's finances. God bless him.
Journalists should be required to take a course on Economics before they report things. Sure, Laffer may have influenced Reagan's thinking but the policies Reagan implemented were Keynesian.
I'm getting impatient.
He only has a few more hundred more 'silly' bills to go and then the real toughies for last is what I suspect ... he's building a little drama ;-)
He's been averaging 20-30 a day or so.. It was a hugh pile this session..
>>I was so happy to see Mr. Buffett no where on this list.
Where you see Munger Tolles... you have Buffett.
Exactly! :)
BFD...my garbage man has more common sense...
(sorry, cheap shot. I have an MBA and think I know everything:-)
You almost had me nodding, until you started to advocate property taxes.
Property taxes are nothing but another "tax the rich" scheme.
There is a difference? I always thought, by definition, a RINO was a donkey in an elephant suit.
Milton Friedman bump!!!
This guy is the best!!!!
