Arnold is using this budget to basically buy off voters for the upcoming election. And to think one of Arnold's idols is Milton Friedman.

Unfortunately, Arnold is about the best we are going to get in California on a statewide basis. At least he vetoed the gay marriage bill and has resisted giving drivers licenses to illegal aliens (and praised the Minutemen).

He obviously has no appreciation for the theories he professed to follow.

Arnold won because he was a celebrity and mimicked McClintock by touting fiscal conservatism and Cut-Cut-Cut. Had he run on the platform he is following, he would have lost (unless he put a "D" by his name).

At least he ... has resisted giving drivers licenses to illegal aliens

If we could erase all of Arnold's other actions to date (borrowing, record spending increases, Sierra Nevada conservancy, gun bans, etc. etc. etc.), I'd actually vote in favor of drivers licenses for illegals (which I violently oppose). The few crumbs Arnold has thrown to the right are far outweighed by the other actions he has inititated, promoted, or endorsed.
