Even D.C. Democrats understand that a $13 trillion debt is not good for their political careers--of course they do not care about your family or jobs.
"Despite high unemployment and fiscal woes that could lead to more layoffs, the free flow of federal stimulus dollars to California may be drawing to an end. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, under assault from Democratic budget hawks and small-government conservatives, failed to crush a rebellion last month by moderates worried about deficits. She was forced to strip from a jobs bill $24 billion in state aid, mainly for Medicaid, and trim an extension of unemployment and health care benefits for people who have been out of work longer than six months."
Now, California must make do with its revenues, which thanks to AB 32 and Arnold high taxes, continue to decline.
"At the same time, conservative think tanks have opened an assault on what they contend are unfair job, salary and benefit protections for state and local public employees, arguing that Democratic efforts to save teacher jobs so they have money to spend is a liberal version of "trickle down," a term once applied to GOP tax cuts for the wealthy.
Christina Romer, a UC Berkeley economist who chairs the president's Council of Economic Advisers, argued that saving teachers' jobs will lead to more spending on goods and services supplied by local businesses."
Romer is a jerk--she makes no sense, giving more money to one segment of society, at the expense of everybody else--and the teachers represent a severely failed government system--LAUSD has a 50% drop out rate. She just made herself silly and political, not someone to be taken seriously with this non sensible remark.
Squeeze government, and you get more freedom, and better schools. Isn't that what we all want?
