Pension Reform - Weekly Address 10/15/10

[jamesmaxwell]

Good. The correctional facilities (whether state or privately run) that lock up "hardened criminals" (read: pot smokers) are nothing more than a money making racket.

[police1016]

good

[SomethingGoodOrBad]

I just hope he becomes president.

[RandomHelena]

Jerry Brown for Governor!

[mcodre2005]

Maybe those "republicans" showed some humanism by opposing another paycut for state workers (translated now as "pension reform") after 18 months of furloughs. How much they still have to sacrifice? They are starving already.

[KraftTV]

So what, I'll admit it - I watched Commando two times in a row this week. I DID!

[Zohaib1]

@KraftTV watch it with me man

[oyouknow2]

Guards put their lives on the line every time they enter those prison gates. Shame on GAS and his tyranny on the Correctional Peace Officers Union. There are correctional officers working everyday to ensure the tax payers safety from hardened criminals and he can't pay them for the wages or retirement they were promised? Give me a break! There are families the Union is trying to protect. It's not about the Union GAS it's about the people they represent!

[oyouknow2]

I can't believe the idiocracy of this man. It's so obvious he's got it out for the Correctional officer and their union. All forms of law enforcement are important! He has held the Highway Patrol on a pedestal and given them raises, all the while most other state workers have been taking their 3 furlough days a month. For correctional officers, that's 3 furlough days without actually getting to take the

days off. Correctional officers get to deal with the law breakers day in and day out.

All together our pension reforms will save $100 billion dollars in the decades to come. If there is one thing I've learned over the last seven years is that real reform is very difficult. Let me tell you a quick story about just how tough it was to get our reforms passed in the legislature. CAMMON!!!! NJAAAA

[oddballmatt]

thats right arnold we have to take a stand now... or there will be nobody left to go to da choppa

[Bristecom]

It's good to know we've finally done something about future pensions but we still have to take care of the previous obligations which add up to 300+ billion dollars, right? I mean, that's enough to sink the state.

[Danaceb]

Keep up the good fight Arnold!! 

[jdpssj4]

199999999999999999999!!

[anubismoon2010]

It would be nice to change the laws and make Arnold president, but if we cant get it changed, my suggestion would be to let Maria run for president.

[anubismoon2010]

where did they get the money from is what should be looked into. thats the real problem

[SpartanMen]

Wish he could be our president.

Is there a way to amend the Constitution so he could run?

[jussssig]

what a man

[KiraTheSaviour]

Arnie layin down the gauntlet

[therealgame]

get to tha CHOPPA!

[oddballmatt]

@therealgame lol my thoughts exactly

[coloradoraider]

Wish he was our Governor!

[sabadia1]

Not trying to get brownie points here but you are a great speaker and very wise to boot! And it's fantastic that you are traveling overseas to boost trade with California, who else has done that? My governor (a few states away from California) does not! Aw, the powers that be overseas would not listen to him anyway! Only you have that gift! You are a Pioneer! Thank you Governor!

[Emmodiver]

I vote Arnold for president here in BRAZIL!

[sabadia1]

I think you should put this one on Leno!!! Go Arnold!

[sabadia1]

Change the rules! Arnold for President!

[sabadia1]

I love it!

[Afrotechmods]

Arnold's naming names kicking ass and chewing bubblegum! Humiliate more of those chumps!

[chavosucks]

very inspirational. I was very Happy to hear that you had managed to get passed the budget Crises.

[sandyabernathy]

@MrHumbleness I think Arnold would make an excellent President and if he were able to run, I would vote for him in a heartbeat. He is an excellent Governor of California. Some people blame Arnold for California's problems, but he inherited all those problems from people before him. And the blame lays in the California law makers. Not Arnold. Arnold is excellent. If Arnold was born in the USA, he could be president. Because he wasn't born her, he can't be president. That is one requirenment.

[sandyabernathy]

Arnold, thank you for exposing those frauds!

[sandyabernathy]

It's going to be a sad day when Arnold is no longer Governor. If Arold can't fix California, no one can. But Arnold has done very very good. But the law makers have fought him every step of the way! It's like our own homes. We have so much moneys, we have to live within our means. That is what Arnold is trying to do. However, I do feel that they are trying to make California State live off of a 1950's budget. The Federal & State Budget needs to be increased.

[MrHumbleness]

i'd like arnold schwarzenegger to be the first president of the USA coming from europe...why???

Because it'd help to realize my vision of coming to america...He is american right now but he still represents Europe for us europeans...in fact he represents everybody...wanting to realize their dreams...Americans are open minded people but their borders are closed to europeans, maybe arnold schwarzenegger could change it in a near future...
