Simple question:

How would Senator Barlowmaker vote on a budget that projects to receive $76 billion in revenues and aims to spend $81 billion?

[Barlowmaker]

That's a foolish question. Those numbers are meaningless absent full knowledge of political and legal obligations. I accept borrowing as a necessary and legitimate part of funding a government the size of a European nation. Basically, I'd vote for the BEST BUDGET I could get considering the doorknob uber-Conservatives in my state were so inept, amateurish and ineffective as to relinquish my vote, dis-empower my Republican influence, to a 25-14 voting minority in the Senate.

Why don't you gadflies turn your attention and principled energies toward the Democrats who are making your lives miserable and bankrupting your children's future? Arnold is one of the good guys. Given the daily anti-Schwarzenegger diatribes carried out on FR by a relative handful of bile-laden nitpickers ... I often wonder if those individuals are.
