"The good news is that we have a budget. The bad news is that it is a budget that no one is happy with. The worst news is that it is a complete and total fraud."
When the Left admits a budget is a fraud, you know it must be bad.
"All it does is push tough decisions into the future. It papers over most of the $19 billion deficit with clever accounting. It assumes billions from the federal government that will never materialize. And it relies on loans and numerous bookkeeping maneuvers to defer payments to schools.
I could go into the details of how this makes it look like the schools are getting more money than last year and how, in fact, they are not going to get more money because the federal stimulus infusion will be less, the borrowing more, and the payback none.
But let us just drop this charade. Drop this nonsense and get to the point."
Like the 2008 budget, this is about spending money, legally. We will see a real budget within 60 days of the new governor taking office.
This sham is a fitting punctuation point on the seven years of Arnold as Governor. Like Hollywood, nothing he does is real.
