Bustamante was also part of a group called MEChA when he was young college student. This group calls for the western United States to be handed over to Mexico and for everyone that is not hispanic to be kicked out of that land. He refuses to denouce it or distance himself from that group and trys to say it was a "social club." Yeah and KKK is a social club too.

Here is a link to their site.

Wow. Mecha is insane...

It's also a humorous name, since "mecha" is slang for ***** in Panama. At least that is what I was told...

young people do stupid things, but then as an Arnie supporter in spirit I'll support anything against Bustamante

Whoever wins this election is going to fail miserably to solve the not soluble in the short to medium run finacial problems of California, and be ruin for future politics, thus let it be Bustamonte.

The international media is running as the story as California has gone broke because a succession of populist governors have cut taxes to the point where the state government can't function properly anymore no matter who is elected.

That's quite a stunning indictment of Davis.

So, presumably you feel the same about Bush and the federal deficit (i.e. "stunning indictment")???

This is almost laughable. We are one of the most taxed states in the union.

Arnie recently said that the first thing he was going to do woud be to conduct an audit. I think this is exactly what we need. Spending is way out of control and needs to be cut. There is no way that a state as taxed as California should be running such a deficit.

Of course I dislike Bush. I'm willing to give him a little lee-way due to the war on terrorism and the economy turning south after 9/11 but his tax cuts for the top 1% have been a financial nightmare that haven't help spur the economy.

Billionares normally slush extra cash into the stock market and don't circulate it where as the the other classes will most likely buy something and thus help improve the economy. That's why most economists said that cutting payroll taxes is the way to go if you want to improve the economy, but Bush needs more donations from the ultra rich thus he continues his current policies even after they have repeatedly failed.

I just visited that MEChA site. Its rhetoric is entirely Marxist. I am not surprised Bootmataxes was a member.

He is dangerous.

As to putting money into the stock market - my God, that is exactly what this economy needs.

Yeah, after the other 49, you're the most taxed.

Does anyone know the size of the California and Federal budgets? I'd like to do a little comparison.

PS If the Democrats could get over thier ill-fated love affair with Dean and move on to someone more sensible, I might have cause to vote against Bush.

I call BS che. There's only one other state that might reasonably have a higher tax burden than California: Massachusetts.

No, the most direct and thus efficent way to improve employment is to directly spur demand for factory goods and/or services. If you put money inbto the stock market you are three or more hands away from someone who will spend it so economists have pretty much agreed that 1) it will take longer for the money to trickle down, and 2) much, much less of it will ever be used to purchase goods or services (meaning actually increase employment).

Since the government doesn't have unlimited resources we should be attempting to spur the economy in the most efficient manner possible and most economists have agreed that is to put money directly into the hands of people who will spend it instead of saving it.
