  • Furlough Friday, that's a hot one. Why didn't the Terminator get his ass out there and clean it up? I'll tell ya one thing, the Terminator better get his ass in gear and address the illegal alien problem that's sucking-up the states tax dollars. Those people would probably be better off in Mexico now anyway since all our jobs moved there. Maybe I'll go there for a job myself.

  • pongman,

    Page 2: Another huge California problem (that will NOT be fixed) is that thousands of state, county, & city employees are WAY over-paid (not front-line police, firemen, & teachers), especially administrative, local officials, & support staff. I personally know a city hall secretary who makes $105,000 per year to sit and chat on the phone (north of Sacto on Hwy 99). I know a senior librarian east of Pomona who makes $125,000. These salaries are twice what they are in other places.

  • The Senators and Governor need to go with out pay and do as the Constitution and go back to having jobs of their own. The Senate wasn't meant to convene every day. They need to get cut off of all the stealing and taxing people out of their homes.

  • @bboucharde

    They will never tackle that problem! No one wants to risk losing the hispanic vote.

  • The Pacifist ideology is what paves the way for this. The strongest states in the recession(less amount of debt) are the conservative ones like texas and Indiana. The biggest failures are California... and yes the border problem doest help...

  • Why in the world did they elect Schwarzenegger governor??

  • Gov. spending must have limits - you can't just go on running big deficits. Yes help out people in need IF it is temporary. But to keep on handing out money people that refuse to work is just stupid. It is not the job of government to support those type of people with free money. There are charities, there are community centers.

  • Arnold let Liberals and unions walk all over him, thats why California is broke. Texas should teach California about how pass a budget, Texas gets it, California doesn't

  • I don't care if jobs leave the state because I wouldn't qualify for any of them anyway. lol

  • We can flush 80% of government offices down the toilet, start there.
