The Rats are creative with Enron style accounting. However they try to shift the tax burden its still a budget that stinks to high heaven and the people of California can't afford it. And until they stop playing games and begin to negotiate spending cuts, tax cuts, and a real permanent limit on future spending with the Republican leadership they won't have a budget to send to GrayDown to sign.

And many new cars don't have ashtrays. My vote may not be enough to swing an election, but I think I've cast my last vote for candidates from either of the major parties.
