Unfortunately ,,
Prop 76 locks in the bulk of the spending at high sustained rates of the last few years including the 2 years worth of budgets proposed by the Gub.
and it does not prevent additional new spending to sustain the frenzy to spend in Sacramento.
nor has the Gub indicated he is either able or amenable to making cuts.

My analysis of the Legislative Analyst Office's opinion on the consequences of Prop 76
Time to donate to Arnold's effort if you feel so inclined.
McClintock's got pro-prop 75 and 76 ads running on talk radio.
The SHKN Survey is hokie (as was the SurveyUSA poll).
The SHKN survey showed Prop 79 (the Dem/Union backed pharma measure) winning, not losing,
with more Republicans (62%) supporting it than Democrats (54%).
It does not compute.

Wish the Pacific NW states would have the same proposal to vote on.
This explains why Tom is recommending the votes yes or no on specific issues.
Voting recommendations from Tom McClintock
#73 – YES
#74 – YES
#75 – YES
#76 – YES
#77 – YES
#78 – NO
#79 – NO
#80 – NO
Proposition 73: Parental Notification for Abortion. If parental consent is required for a child to use a tanning booth or get her ears pierced, shouldn’t parents at least be notified if she’s getting an abortion? YES. Whether you’re pro-life or pro-choice, this should be the all-time no-brainer.
Proposition 74: Teacher Tenure. Do parents have a right to expect a higher level of competence before a teacher is granted life-time tenure? YES. This modest measure simply increases the teacher probation period from two years to five years.
Proposition 75: Public Employee Union Dues. Should public employees decide for themselves which candidates they will support with their own money? YES. This measure requires that before a public employee union can take money from that employee for political donations, it has to get the employee’s permission.
Proposition 76: State Spending. Should government live within its means? YES. This measure restores the authority that the governor of California had between 1939 and 1983 to make mid-year spending cuts whenever spending outpaces revenue without having to return to the legislature.
Proposition 77: Re-districting. Should voters choose their representatives in legislative districts that are drawn without regard to partisan advantage? YES. The most obvious conflict of interest in government is when politicians choose which voters will get to vote for them by drawing their own legislative district lines. This measure puts a stop to it.
Propositions 78 and 79: Prescription drug discounts. Do you want the same people who run the DMV to run your pharmacy? NO. These are rival measures, one supported by drug companies and the other by liberal activists – both of which purport to lower drug prices. What they really do is assure that one group of patients gets to pay higher prices to provide subsidized prices for others. There’s no such thing as a free Levitra.
Proposition 80. Electricity Regulation. Do you want the same people who run the DMV to run your electricity company? NO. This measure locks in monopoly control of your electricity by the bureaucratized utilities and forbids you from ever being able to shop around for the lowest-priced electricity available.
I know this but I prefer to have short FR posts when others are able to get to the original without logging in. If it is necessary to register to get an article then I think it is proper to post the entire article. I hate registering for access to a left wing publication.
If the source doesn't need excerpts used, why not just copy and paste the whole thing then.
It eliminates the possibility you or others are cherry picking points that are only favorable to your view. Most folks won't click thru to see the whole article anyway.
Part of the reason we find ourselves in the predicament we are in today is folks want short fast solutions without thought to unintended consequences.
These are very important issues we are being ask to make well-informed decisions on.
just a thought. ;-)

Im an old dog too.
Nothing personal intended re: cherry picking but a lot of folks don't read much beyond the posted portion of the thread and aren't as diligent as you or I may be to click thru.
Yup, disk drive space is real cheap compared to the olden days.
I also believe in Trust But Verify too.
I cut and paste all the time and do my cleanup before hitting the Post button ,, always have.
No , there is no FR policy except the excerpt and no post lists. You can get to them on the bottom of my profile page.
These are the targeted explanations aimed squarely at Republican voters. A glance below the surface shows an alternate agenda:
McClintoch, having a small base and little funding needs the CAGOP financial and organizational support to run for statewide office. He has experienced, first hand, the damage the CAGOP can do to their own it they deem the candidate to be a "maverick" or uncooperative.
McClintock's campaign reasoned correctly that even if the CAGOP stood on the sidelines next November his chances for winning were not good and that his candidacy was doomed to repeat of the 13% showing if the CAGOP sabotaged him again.
The consequence was a deal with the devil, or in this case, the CAGOP. McClintock would support the CAGOP mantra during the special election cycle in return for their financial support and cooperation in the upcoming statewide elections. As part of that deal McClintock was given free, statewide exposure by the CAGOP in the guise of support for their "reform" agenda. A good deal for both the CAGOP and the McClintock campaign....
But not for conservatives.
Conservatives now have one of their own publicly implying that Prop 76 will stop the borrowing when in fact it won't, just as was the case with the duplicitous promises made during the Prop 57 campaign by these same folks and even worse, Prop 76 itself authorizes more borrowing. At a minimum, an additional $5B so that the Schwarzenegger administration, with the tacit approval of the CAGOP, can continue to propose increases in state spending at at time when the state desperately needs to cut spending.
Such is politics but truth is often a casualty.
Excellent illumination of the truth and the awful saga of CA's malignant GOP top brass. I sure wish it would stop so I could feel good, once again, about CA's Grand Old Party!!!
I'd blame him except I can see how the Party is screwing with him and it really stinks up the GOP, not Tom!!!
"McClintoch, having a small base and little funding"
Mispelled name, incorrect data re base and funding.
I'd say you don't like Tom, so all your posturing about what he is doing is just your OPINION - and has nothing to do with facts.
