For 2 1/2 months, Cahlifoornya has been without a budget.A record, even for us.
At just after midnight, the Legislature finally agreed on a compromise. Yes, it's a lousy compromise, but it's a budget!
This afternoon, Swartzeneger announced he's going to veto it.
In other California news: A few days back, the Prison Guards union announced that it was starting a petition to recall the governor. The union has been without a contract for two years.
And a good time is had by all.

Yeah, he is certainly evil :
Demanding such things are certainly evilGov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has rejected the budget sent to him hours earlier by the Legislature, criticizing it for failing to meet his reform demands and solving California's persistent fiscal problems.

This appears to be the first time that the Governator has actually kept to his principles and taken a stand.
So when Bush says something and sticks by it, condemn him. When this whacko says something though, it's gold?
Ok, then. I think he should be standing on the side of the road, thumbing for a ride.

It's what Palin would do.
"We have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work...After eight years of this Administration, we have just as much unemployment as when we started... And an enormous debt to boot!" — Henry Morgenthau, Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Treasury secretary, 1941.

As usual the budget is balanced in a way that will do the most harm to people."They are cuts that will touch every Californian," says Jean Ross, executive director of the California Budget Project, a left-leaning budget analysis center. "These are deep cuts to education, deep cuts to healthcare, deep cuts to social service programs, deep cuts to public transit."
Some of the biggest whacks include $2.9 billion in K-12 and community college funding and $542 million in public assistance for low-income families, the elderly, and the blind.

California has shoot itself in both feet with ballot initiatives long before the Govenator came along. Its almost structurally impossible to fix the states budget. I am disappointed though not surprised he's continued feeding the Prison-Industry in the state and outside of that I'm not to up to speed on California politics.

He's actually hasn't been as bad as I thought he would be when he first got elected. I thought he would be much more conservative after he reformed workers comp on the backs of workers, and let the big insurance companies make out.

After all those steroids, he probably doesn't have much in the way of nuts left to kick. Sorry.

He tried to be with a special election for four right-wing initiatives. His favorablity rating dropped ~ 40 points and all four initiatives were defeated. At that point, he ousted most of Pete Wilson's former cronies and started listening more to Maria.He's actually hasn't been as bad as I thought he would be when he first got elected.

He's right in saying this budget won't fix California's systemic budget problems. But it would give us a budget. Then we can work on the systemic problems.
No budget kind of makes OneFootInTheGrave's observation invalid. You can't stick to something not there.

what is he sticking to than.... or better to say why is he not approving a budget that is overspending in case he is not sticking to a budget?

The problem is that most of the state's revenues come from things like income tax, corporate tax etc, which decline during a bad economy. There's just not enough money coming in to pay the bills.
It's cutbacks like these that can really hurt in a recession. State cutbacks will probably hurt more than federal cutbacks if there are any.

There never were. Everyone in California is a socialist in sharpie's universe, and socialists hate money. Ergo, there are no rich people.Originally posted by Kidicious

Yeah, it's like the poor, underpaid police officers and firefighters here in Austin. Their wages are pretty much the highest in the nation, the public safety budget is threatening to create a fiscal crisis, and still these ******* unions are trying to squeeze more out of us.those guards make 80,000 a year and they want a 37% pay increase. Screw them.
You know, I've never belonged to a union, and I feel neither unpaid, mistreated, or held back. I also don't feel that I've ever been treated unfairly at raise/promotion time. UnionsThey may have had their place once, but now they need to be broken. Hard.
