This says it all: "According to a study earlier this year by the Reason Foundation, if the state had kept spending growth to 4.4%, instead of 5.9%, the state would today have a $15 billion surplus. Instead, in just the past three years, it has rung up deficits of $81 billion. This is the kind of fiscal profligacy one sees in Third World nations on the verge of collapse, not in the world's seventh-largest economy."
It is the spending, stupid. Period.
And we have done it to ourselves. Between voting for bonds we can not afford, allowing unions and other radical special interests to control and the Leftists we put into office, this is not a murder by Sacramento, it is a suicide by the voters.
We are to blame for this corruption and incompetence. We are to blame for the bad schools by electing union candidates to the Boards. We are to blame for the illegal aliens ruining our society--if a Sheriff can not arrest them get a new Sheriff. if a city council wants to give benefits and support to illegal aliens, get a new city council.
We are to blame for the mess and next November we can begin to clean it up.
