From bad to worse. California remains bass-ackwards in its direction.

I think Californians need to make sacrifices. Specificially, we need to set up an altar in Capitol Park and sacrifice our state lege one at a time until the budgets improve.

To a certain extent she is right. We all voted to hand the problem back to our elected representatives. It has really been up to them to raise taxes or cut spending. They now have to S=== or get off the pot. They will have to cut spending in a big way. They simply cannot cover the problem by further tax increases. End of story.

Actually... I was quite surprised... pleasantly surprised to see the intelligence of the Californian voters when they overwhelmingly rejected all those propositions...

Maybe partially, but in the beginning of the video, she very clearly thinks that if she just could have explained it personally to everybody that it was necessary ya-da-ya-da-ya-da ... National recession.... not enough time to reach out....

She clearly thinks people didn't understand what they were voting to do. I contend they did.

Adding comments has been disabled for this video.

Apparently "Assembly Access" doesn't want to allow for any access to the viewers. Maybe they're afraid of comments regarding the stupidity of speaker Bass.

No confusion, just anger at our idiotic state government.

Karen you are the one that is confused. You have no idea about budgets. You do know how to spend though.

Typical elitist arrogance. The political elites know what’s good for you. You’re too stupid. In the case of Democrats,unfortunately it’s true. They are too stupid, thinking that taxing and demonizing productive people and rewarding degenerate behavior and laziness is good for society.

The issues were so uncomplicated I spent a total of maybe 15 seconds to anaylize and make the decision to vote no on all of them!

I still think that F was a scam because they can raise their per diem, car allowance travel expense office expenses and actually give themselves a pay raise while crying about being imposed upon.

1A is too confusing. I'll vote no.
1B is way too confusing. I'll vote no.
I'm too tired to figure out 1C and 1D too. I'll just vote no.
Do they ever stop? 1E? No, no, no. I don't care what it says.
1F? Good think I just had a triple espresso to perk me up to read it and vote yes.

The voters in California knew exactly what they were doing. Ahhhhnold and gang told them the world would end if they didn't vote for 1A-1E and the voters didn't believe them.

Actually, only 23 percent of Californians who were registered voted-- the real taxpayers. We're sick of being held up every time one of those so called legislators has a pet project.

The best quote of all was “When I walked into the room, the people would understand [what we are up to].” Sounds like another Messiah complex to me.
