Dunno, I don't want this to get tossed over to the politics forum, but as a life long Democrat, I gotta say, its the Democrats fault. Can't put lip stick on that pig. Their nearly suicidal devotion to the states unions and expensive social programs have led to this point, and they refuse to change, even as the ship is sinking.

I agree completely... and I also am registered as a democrat...
But what to do? Every politician promises to cut spending, taxes, etc.? Who to believe?
I don't hate Arnold but he is no politician... and that is what it take to get things done in politics... someone who can smoose and make backroom deals (like it or not)... not a celebrity grandstanding and making photo ops.
Sales tax 9.97% here in Lost Angeles... OUCH!
