He did that, and the left wingers were screaming then about the end of civilization.

In about one-two years, our budgets were balanced, and California was off on an economic boom with no increase in taxes.

When Moonbeam came in he ushered in the Era of Limits where no new power plants were built, and his band of do gooders began to divert money away from roads and infrastructure to buying votes.

Within a year, the counties and cities were increasing property taxes faster than a speeding bullet to pay for this social engineering being done at the local levels in the name of education, affirmative action, and just buying votes via grants, welfare, medical and jobs working to administer the new social progartms.

That brought on Prop 13 which saved our homes from the local tax and spenders in our cities and counties.

hen Moonbeam came in his Chief of Staff, Gray Davis ushered in the Era of Limits where no new power plants were built, and his band of do gooders began to divert money away from roads and infrastructure to buying votes.

There's that's better. ;-)

Good point. They have never made a pretense of being civilized since.
