No one will deny that Arnold has been an amateur, ego driven Governor. Was the movie "Clueless" really about him?
He really thought that raising taxes was a good thing--even though he claimed to be a student of Dr. Milton Friedman.
In spite of the fact that a California "scientist" misjudged global warming (if it exists at all) by 340%--he still defends the job killing AB 32.
Though he took an oath of office to uphold our laws, he defends and protects illegal aliens.
"In office seven years, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger still doesn’t realize why he couldn’t end the “crazy deficit spending” he pledged his honor to end. This is shown by an interview he conducted with the L.A. Times, which is published today, reviewing his seven disastrous years.
One crucial misstep came in the first few months, he said. Instead of confronting voters with the pain of dealing with the deficit he had inherited, Schwarzenegger shied away, backing a ballot initiative to borrow $15 billion to paper over the accumulated budget problem.
“It was a mistake,” Schwarzenegger said. “I should’ve gone the other direction to early on solve the budget problem and use the political muscle I had in that first year in office.”. We still have not paid that back, added $15 billion to the debt of California and was told this was bad."
Arnold instead of cutting spending, raised it--14% in one year. "
His spending increases of those years, 14 percent in one year, tracked the increases in housing prices. That’s because the housing sales brought in tremendous increased revenues.
But you don’t have to be a business tycoon to realize that booms turn into busts. Common sense, and any reading of history, shows that."
Seems to me like his cigar smoke ruined his common sense.
