Nope.  We're way over budget because we have a puppet in Sac.  O.K., that is 
only part of the problem.  A major part is illegals.  We have a HUGE number 
of hospitals and clinics that are about to go bankrupt!

Pete Wilson was the brains behind the electric power crisis.  He is the one 
who busted up the two big utilties companies in a bid to be part of Dumbya's 
cabinet.  Didn't get him a thing but sure got us in a world of hurt.

Now, what does this have to do with the current situation, you ask.  Tons. 
Or should I say billions.  The state ended up sucking it up and being the 
one footing most of the bill.  Ol' Bland Davis couldn't make a definitive 
decision if his life depended on it.  His dithering around exasperated the 
problems that Petey Pie caused.

Sooooo, along comes Schwartzenazi and who should be his campaign manager and 
behind the scenes guru?  Petey Pie.

The real math is 90 commissions that Petey Pie put into place.  The energy 
crisis, again Petey Pie.  Idiots that insist that every illegal, his/her 
anchor baby and their lst, 2nd and 3rd cousins should get welfare, food 
stamps, school lunches, WIC and MediCal are another part of the pie (MediCal 
is CA's version of Medicaid.  The problem is the feds don't dump in their 
share for illegals, so CA carries the whole burden of that part).  As far as 
education goes, a lot of the problem stems from NCLB and its requirements 
which were not funded at first and under funded at best.  Again, add in the 
illegals problem with the requirement for ESL teachers and tons of special 
ed.

Then you have the Air Quality boys requiring this, that and the other thing 
be added to CA's gas which put another big crimp in the budget because it 
turns out the stupid stuff is a major pollutor AND carcenogen and now CA is 
having to pay a bundle for that.

Take away NCLB and stop the open arms spending for illegals and you'll put a 
great big dent in the deficit in CA.

Is Teflon heading that way.  Ah, no.  He's hell bound on the super sonic 
version.  He'll make CA's current problems look like a walk in the park!

Teflon's a shiney thing.  Folks didn't do their homework and Marjo is going 
to take them all to the cleaners.

The major downhill slide starts tomorrow with the announcement.

He's got his whole mortgage thing on the net and I think his plans for first 
time home buyers.  We're seriously thinking of selling this place.  We 
happen to be in one of the only places in CA where the prices haven't gone 
down and in 4 years our place is worth more than twice what we paid for it. 
Places up here are still selling.  We still owe some on it and if we sell it 
we can buy something else for cash and have no mortgage.  The places nearer 
the coast are going down in price, so we're doing some serious thinking!

I figure if we owe nothing, no matter what he does we'll be o.k.

I do wish the voters had actually gone out and done their homework!  Now all 
I can do is light some candles, burn a smudge and hope to whom or whatever 
that the Chinese don't call the loans due!

I never thougth I'd say it but I think we have actually gone from the frying 
pan into the fire!  Dumbya had our grandchildren and great-grands in debt. 
This circus is going to have 7 generations in debt OR MORE!
