****Arnold?...I thought they were the first in line looking for a handout due to terrible fiscal policies?.****
Well, California has always had their hand out.... popular belief that noone should have fiscal responsibility, and that there is always someone else that should be responsible for your mistakes had lead to some serious issues after Grey Davis. We do have some gnarly fiscal issues, but I dont think that Arnold can be held to the fire for that one; cut spending, get yelled at... cut the (over) funding for schools, get yelled at.... try to increase taxes, get yelled at... attempt to borrow against millions in overages in CalSTRS/PERS and other government retirement funds, get yelled at..... kinda hard to do anything with all that, and yet we are better off than we were 5 years ago.
