Why California cannot get out of their fiscal hole...

The state of California has a governor whose balls seem to have fallen off-although to be fair after year of rampant steroid use they were probably non existent when he first took office, lol

Republicans in California "holding just 29 of 80 Assembly seats and 15 of 40 state Senate seats[...] have great power even though they are a distinct and declining minority in a heavily blue state. Why? Because of the two-thirds vote rule, GOP legislators can be pure to their principles. Living in a Proposition 13 world, the state Republican Party has little incentive to reach out to the moderates necessary to win a majority in the state house."

This explains why California government is so dysfunctional it cannot pass a budget. Arnold for all his bluster is really a "girlie man" (the term Dana Carvey coined in SNL parodies.) Too afraid to challenge a (hopefully) soon to be extinct minority of partisan hacks.  He is neither tough (like his carefully constructed movie image) or a person who can get things done-the two claims he made against Gray Davis during the recall drive.  
So what is the difference between the two? About 18 billion dollars-the amount Arnold added to the California deficit (Source: http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1907506,00.html)

He is in every sense of the word a "girlie man"  A pretend action star who believed his hype. It is a shame that a recall put a B-grade action star into the governors house. It is a greater shame that the state now has to rely on a pathetic 60 year old man with no balls,  growing man boobies and a botched botox job. He still has tons of one liners but California deserves more then that. How sad.

Another political post. sorry about that-I just had to get it off my chest. 




A bankrupt state-how depressing!

Are you also ashamed that the State of California is bankrupt! I feel bad for everyone that is suffering because the rules to get a budget or bill passed are so asinine it's a joke. There is no way 2/3 of politicians will agree on anything-particularly if there is no incentive for the 1 or 2 state senators that seem to never say yes dig in deep. They do not care. I doubt our governor cares either. It is like he is playing a game of chicken-but if no one backs down he WILL be exposed as the most UNQUALIFIED governor in the U.S.-that is saying a lot considering some of the hacks that are Governors now (Jindal of Lousiana, Sanford of South Carolina anyone.) 

I find it a joke that Time once picked our California governor as one of the best in the U.S.-what the heck are they smoking! If anyone really thinks he is qualified to be governor-surprise California is bankrupt under his watch! I would be ashamed if I made California a laughing stock to the outside world-but I am not governor.  The whole situation stinks for all the people depending on the State for help-I feel particularly bad for California college students. They got the short end on this. I doubt many colleges accept IOU's in lieu of tuition.

Our governor took a huge dump on California and he DOES NOT take responsibility. He needs to grow a pair and stop being a spineless worm. Did the steroids cause his balls to drop off. lol Stand up to the 1 to 2 people in the Republican party who refuse to budge. If he does not he can add coward, to the list of unflattering things expressed by residents-maybe not in this area but judging from the TV demonstrations he is not a popular fellow.

Sorry for the off topic rant-but more people in Mountain View and surrounding areas should be speaking up-this affects everyone including us in Silicon Valley! If you do not express your opinion-nothing changes. This is not idealism but reality.
