The only effective thing that changes bad behavior is painful consequences. California voters have chosen very badly for some time now. They think they can have electrical power without building power plants. They think they can have others pay for all their do good/feel good pet projects and the “rich” will simply pay without damaging the economy or leaving the state. They think they can pass more and more government mandated worker “benefits” and make the state a workers paradise. That is worker paradise without jobs…

If they don’t bear the consequences of their actions they will simply continue doing the same destructive thing. I don’t think the real pain of Davis’ governing has been felt yet. Right now it is mostly talk of what pain is coming. That isn’t enough. Just like alcoholics or drug addicts until they hit rock bottom and are forced face themselves they don’t make any true meaningful long-term changes. I’d rather feel and deal with the pain now and not have a repeat performance in a few years.

At least that is my opinion…

>> "The only effective thing that changes bad behavior is painful consequences."

That statement of yours should apply to Davis and other politicians. Davis has demonstrated extreme bad behavior and now needs to suffer the consequences. Other politicians need to see this example so they may be deterred in thinking they can f**k the public at will.
