Arnold's Lottery

»  Comments | Post a Comment

I wonder if the people of California are paying attention to what Gov. Arnold Schwartzenegger is doing to their economy. For the second time in three years, he has borrowed money to "fix" the deficit out there. This time he is borrowing on lottery proceeds that haven't even materialized yet!

He didn't even have to run for governor, he was drafted. The media and California pundits smoothed the way. He merely walked into office, the hero of the day. At that time, to solve the deficit, he borrowed some $30 million (or was it billion?) He simply followed the example of his hero, Ronald Reagan.

Tragically, today the price paid is the lay off of teachers and other professionals who were already underpaid because of gross mismanagement, plus the school kids who may not have a school to go to. Yet, they do nothing about the illegals who make up 25 percent of the school population. His type of conservatism is not what the people of California need. However, they voted for him twice, so they got what they wanted.
