Schwarzenegger also has proposed cutting about $200 million in welfare spending, including $114 million in child care funds for welfare recipients.

Good for Schwarzenegger.

Let's line up every yokel who wanted to change the Constitution so this socialist/nazi could be elected President, and laugh at them till they want to dig a hole and crawl in.

I predicted this would happen. The Democrats don't care about infrastructure. They do care about the groups dependent on government who receive benefits from it who vote for them and the Democrats intend to see it to it social spending remains uninterrupted. So what if California's brick and mortar is crumbling? What's important is every welfare recipient receive that annual COLA increase. Never mind if we can't drive on a new freeway. The Democrats have figured keeping as many people on the state dole is their ticket to remaining in power.

But he also said the governor has tried to balance the budget at the cost of the poor.

This is very confusing to me. In a secular socialist welfare state like California, doesn't the bulk of the budget find it's way into the pockets of "the poor" by one means or another? Welfare, health care, schools, food stamps, etc., etc.?

Nice to finally see a nice thread about the Gov. The Dem posturing and theatrics here is truly shameless. The state gains nothing from investing in welfare dependency building giveaways. Increasing health care access for children was a nice touch, although the state still is too inept to enroll eligible people into it as it is.

Why is it the best? Does it increase waste, fraud, abuse and overall spending on pork by 100%?
