Why is it so difficult to pass a California budget? It's very simple - our income has declined precipitously, so our spending should follow suit. The Republicans are being pilloried mercilessly, yet they are the vanguards of our future. Any cuts allowed to be enacted by the Democratic majority are merely illusory; they will not come to fruition.
In the end, Democrats will spend whatever we give them. The only way to control the sprawl of state government is to stop giving it ever more money.
As Thomas Jefferson said, "I think we have more machinery of government than is necessary, too many parasites living on the labor of the industrious."
Get over your distain for Democrats. We're going to be around for at least the next 8 years!! We suffered at the hands of Republicans long enough!! OBAMA RULES!
