"That is what our California Recovery Plan is all about.
We took the debt we inherited from the previous administration, the debt that threatens us with bankruptcy, and we rolled it into a $15 billion recovery bond.
Then we tore up the credit card.
We passed a balanced budget amendment.
And we created a rainy day fund for future hard times and emergencies.
Never again will government be allowed to spend money it doesnt have.
Never again will the state be allowed to borrow money to pay for its operating expenses."
State of the State address by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jan. 6, 2004:
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
