"As Arnold Schwarzenegger's failed political career flames out, he's
demanding California sacrifice thousands of human lives for his Three
Big Lies.

Arnold's First Big Lie was the one he used to win office in 2003: he
used all his celebrity star power to promise voters he could slash CA's
revenues by $4 billion and everything would be great. In the real world,
Arnold's cut did exactly what CA's budget analyst predicted: starve the
state budget and grow deficits. Over the next years, the annual loss
from Arnold's First Big Lie grew to $6 Billion. With the state's deficit
now swollen to $24 billion (thanks to Prop 13 and Arnold's First Big
Lie), in the May 19 California voters overwhelmingly rejected Arnold's
special election, rejecting his stealth attempt to further destroy
California's public sector.

Arnold's Second Big Lie pretends that when CA voters refused the
Rethugs' plan to smash public services for the future, they actually
wanted to slash those services. Before that election, Arnold vetoed the
Legislature's budget: a budget that partly restored the revenue cuts the
Rethugs created to destroy public services.

Arnold's Third Big Lie is to pretend he never vetoed non-lethal budget
solutions, and to pretend the only solution for thirty years of the
Rethugs' war on California's government is Shock Doctrine."

And of course the Democrap controlled state legislature bears
no blame in any of this. How much longer are you people going
to need for it to sink in that the $24 billion of unfunded state
services
are not needed or wanted by the majority of the state's tax payers
at this time, because that was the message of the last election.
Tax hikes are out of the question. So live with it.
