The Governor and the GOP are almost immune from voters' retribution. And it is hard to put one's hopes in the voters who elected, then re-elected, Arnold.
He has done nothing in his tenure to improve California government and he has allowed much to get worse. If he were allowed by the constitution, and if he ran for re-election, he would easily clear 55% of the vote.
The big hope was that, because he was from outside the political parties, he might be able to force or engender a broad review of California's tax system. Instead Arnold used his modest acting chops and out-sized celebrity to promote the same old right-wing agenda.
Yeah Deacon sounds like a neat idea. We could also do the same on the Democrats side, maybe find out they're better off than the Republicans. Most of California's Congressional delegation are better off than the GOP'ers. That Nancy is one well off person, and when cap and trade gets passed, she'll be even richer. That's what that is all about, creating wealth. Her's!
$1 trillion in revenue back in 2002, now more than 2 trillion generated within the state. Yet they can't figure out how to tax people or make a budget. Spending increased 21% over the time, no wonder things are bad. Other states live within their means. Only expand by 4 to 6%. Not California, they can have anything they want.
