Dan Walters is a whiney leftist and Union loving tool.

Arnold is getting a bad rap. I don’t think he fully understood that spending, in California, are from 95% voter approved initiatives.

He would have to unravel hundreds of voter approved initiatives of which he is powerless to do. It would suicide, politically, in any case.

The only thing he can do is waive his hand once in while to make it look like he is doing something.

He has furloughed workers, who have sued in opposition. Wish I could have sued when the companies I worked for decided to layoff. Could have saved some heartache but, oh well.

The Prison Guard unions aren’t willing to suck it up either. Don’t blame them really. They have bills based on their current income and the mortgage companies don’t much care about your employer reducing your take home pay by whatever means.

The good news is, the house is going to burn down and we can design a new one.

The ultimate remodel.

Schwarzenegger once enjoyed some of the highest approval ratings ever recorded for a California governor – 65 percent during his first months – but the latest Field Research poll, released on Sunday, found that just 27 percent of registered voters approve of his performance, and 59 percent say he'll leave state government in worse condition than he found it.

This is the kind of performance that propelled Mitt Romney to Presidential candidate.

Maybe if he had blown up some boxes and imposed a 3 year freeze in spending, supported Prop 209 and 187 and enforced it and actually fought for it in DC instead of groveled for dollars .. maybe this state&nation wouldn’t be in the fix it is in.

Instead, he borrowed 15 billion to bail out the dems, chased businesses out of California by chasing vapour and pushing AB32, no matter, his cred is zip and anyone who lets him off the hook ought to rethink their logic.

After Arnold's Ballot Propositions Measures failed, he gave up. That was during his first year in office.

The State Employee Unions spent Millions of Dollars in advertising against those reforms.

I live in CA. With the Libtards running Sacramento, a Republican Governor, even a RINO like Arnold, can't get anything done. All he can do is slow the Marxist takeover.

When Jerry Brown gets elected Governor, which he will, the State is finished.
