Hey, Alia. This doesn't surprise me. If what I'm seeing in the other comments is true, that surprises me: that the Dems aren't simply doing this, Ahnold regardless. They really think they can simply jail the goose and that'll do it.

So glad I got outta dere.

This is reason #648 why I moved out of California.

Cheers,
Beleg

As I wrote in another post: I can understand, on one hand, Repubs staying mum on this matter a bit: Dems are determined to make the Feds (read: all the other states) bail out CA. 11 hospitals in SoCal are "bankrupt". Feds have said -- it's a state issue: clean it up yourself. Enter this proposal. It won't pass as written, IMHO. BUT! I'd let it go forward, and simply as a bargaining tool on other budget items. My two cents.

Sometimes, just sometimes, Beleg... I get the strongest perception that many in CA have utterly, absolutely, unequivocably NO concept of how economically "dire" are the straits CA has been put into by the Dems.

Anyone who has ever been in "credit hell" knows firsthand the jingly,dancing game one plays to survive while getting out of debt.
