Gropenfuehrer cuts social services, as we expected
http://customwire.ap.org/dynamic/stories/C/CALIFORNIA_BUDGET?SITE=NCFAY&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT

The ($150 million) cuts, largely in social service programs, free up money for city and county governments that have lost more than $300 million since the Republican governor rolled back an unpopular tripling of the state's car tax.

Does this come as a surprise to you? This is proforma Republican strategy: cut taxes so much spending has to come down, then cut social services to compensate.

Odd one: part of the Gropenfuehrer's cuts is in DMV funding. How much would you like to bet that the enforcement budget (which is where the real money in DMV comes from) is what got cut? Naturally, when enforcement revenue--read: fines--falls because there are fewer people to do the enforcement, the DMV's budget will be cut further. Who knows? Maybe Sammy Hagar won't have to worry about getting number 25 after a few months of Arnold's "leadership."

Field Manual 22-100 (Leadership) defines leadership as the art of getting people to do what they don't want to do. Someone needs to slip Arnold Schwarzenegger a copy of this book.

1. watch for the Constitutional amendment to allow ....
folks not born in this country, to run for president.

republicans will be supporting it. schwantzenagger is their kind of perfect candidate. .... lies, broken campaign promises, tax-cutting to furthur disadvantage the poor and disabled, owned by special interests .... (did anyone catch the news of his fundraiser the other night for 600 lobbyists who paid $21,200 each to his campaign fund? .. that's the legal limit they can contriubute), and all this in addition to his being stupid and lacking common sense.

2. I think any items about Gropenfueher should also include
AKA/Pete Wilson.

All of this is just an extension of the Pete Wilson regime which gave California Enron.
just like Bush-II is Reaganomics-revisited and squared.

These people are so offended that .10-cents of THEIR tax dollars would go to a welfare-teat sucking retard that they will devastate the lives of poor and needy and handicapped people.
They just don't care about us peons.

It is a point that has to be hammered daily. Bush, Schwartzengroper,
Cheny, Rove, Limpballs, Oreally..They don't give a shit if we all died tomorrow..They will still have thier millions! We don't count.
we are a nuisance that have to be tolerated because we can still vote..but for how long?
