I hear you, talk about stupid, here in California we re-elected our horrible
govenor, who almost single handedly took the state from a $8 billion
surpluss and changing it to a $36 billion defecit. Democrats in this state
have no one to blame but themselves, they have run this state for the past
ten years.

Actually, the Republicans are to blame, and on two counts. Instead of
putting up Richard Riodan, who could have beat Grey, the right wingers
decided he didn’t pass the far right litmus test, and put up a total loser
that even the incompetent Grey could beat. Second, the deficit came about
for the same reason everyone else’s investments are going south: the economy
in general and the stock market in specific. Good ol’ Dubya, who hasn’t
learned the simpliest thing from Slick Willy: it’s the economy, stupid!

Totally agree with you Bruce, Riordan didn’t excite a single conservative, but
he would have run a much better campaign. Simon ran against one of the weakest
candidates ever, and he was horrible. I don’t think he is personally stupid,
just a stupid campaigner.
The true source of any deficit is out of control spending, if the economy turns
and tax revenues are not as high as anticipated, simply cut your spending to
match the shortfall. Problem in the federal government is that 9/11 and the two
ensuing wars came with high price tags. California government spending has
increased by more than both the population and the local economic growth.
Someone just needs to take that check writing pen out of Davis’s hand.
