- Californian republicans do not care if their state goes to hell in a handbasket just as long as their illegal nanny gets to stay along with her aunts and uncles and 10 babies.

- "California has become the real-world result of Democratic Party..."
Let's see, the last 40 years they have had Republican governors 70% of the time. It was Republicans that put Prop 13 on the ballot and caused all the damage to the schools. If anyone is harming California, it is the Republicans insisting that you don't need revenue to pay the bills. - Reply to this comment

- If California's voters won't raise taxes on itself, why don't the nation's taxpayers have the right to vote on it? Guess what the result would be.
Hey, CA, learn to live on a budget. - Reply to this comment
- Haha, this is what happens when you run every little thing past the people instead of letting their REPRESENTATIVES do their jobs! Of course CA is going to vote down tax increases for themselves! Why bother bailing themselves out when the rest of us can do it for them?? I feel bad for ex Gov. Grey and I feel bad for Gov. Schwarzenegger-they are basically asked to do their jobs with both hands tied behind their backs. Look at your future, Massachusetts!

Ahem...excuse me? Last time I checked WE THE PEOPLE elect our Representatives to do our bidding.....perhaps the rest of our country should follow suit and allow WE THE PEOPLE to do our own voting on all issues henceforth if our Representatives do not begin to truly represent us! But then that might put a lot of lobbyists out of work, eh? LOL - Reply to this comment

- The Beggarnator is a bad actor and a really bad governor. Maybe he should be called the terminator of the CA state economy. If I ran my business like this loser, we would have been gone a long time ago. CA really needs to get rid of ALL the Republican in elected office. They are still trying to impose their failed, obsolete conservative policies on the helpless people.

- I thought the Republican 'Terminator' was going to come in like gangbusters and turn everything around in Calif. like he promised when he became Gov. Running a large State ain't like makin' movies is it Arnie?

- This is party time for the people in California that hate undocumented aliens. The bonus money given to all the executives in California, combined with the money stolen from Californian citizens by the crooks in Wall Street, is several times the money earned by all the undocumented aliens. Instead of going after each executive that received a bonus of several million dollars for insignicant work, or after the crooks that stole many billions of dollars, according to inachu1and American 11-2009, it is better to chase the guy that makes $7 an hour picking up vegetables or cleaning the waste of other people. This is certainly not the first time it happens, but every time there are economic problems, the misfits in California need to have an escape goat , and there is nothing better than to blame the undocumented aliens for every thing that goes wrong in the state.

- #1 reason California will fail....
Those who do not support the idea of California supporting illegals leave the state in droves.
This just leaves rich people such as business owners and actors and poor illegal mexicans. The rich are unable to support the illegal mexicans they hire because of the Large exodus of americans who voted with their feet and left dodge city.....
No way until pigs fly will I support an illegal with my tax money.
I'd rather support Americans with my tax dollars.
If you want people come back to California make incentives for americans to return then perhaps you would not have these 30 hospital and schools closings down like they have.
This is the fault of greeed on the part of business owners who prefer low pay VS dignity of hiring americans or legal citizens first. - Reply to this comment
- American 11-2009 summed it up pretty well I think. They needeed the illegals to bring in the crops because americans would not do it . Why? The american people wont be treated like prison labor. The growers have to have thier beach houses and cadillacs. Well the price of fruit and broccili and things of that nature are just as expensive today as they would have been without the immigrant labor , even more so now.SYMPATHY CAN BE FOUND IN THE DICTIONARY BETWEEN SH--T AND SYPHILLISS BUT NOT HERE.i FIND RATHER FUNNY THAT THE SO CALLED COMPASSIONATE VIEWS TOWARDS ILLEGALS HAS COST THEM THIER TOURISM AND SECURITY FOR REAL AMERICANS.

- I hope that the rest of the nation is paying attention to the debacle here in California...because the Golden State is indeed the template that President Obama and the Democratic Party hope to implement from coast-to-coast.
California has become the real-world result of Democratic Party doctrine and control.
If you want to know where and to what the Obama Administration is leading the country to...take a long, hard look at California. - Reply to this comment
- Considering the millions of dollars being spent to pamper the illegal alien pupulation, it is no wonder that Calif. is sinking into the status of a third rate country. Newton's Third Law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. For every action California initiates to raise the status of the human sewage that flows across the border, it lowers itself by a like amount. Welcome to the Third World, California.

- California will do just fine. Back in 1992, Republican governor Pete Wilson tried to give out script in lieu of real pay checks to state employees, that did not go over well. Republican governors of California usually pretend that they will NEVER has to raise revenues to pay the bills, so they try to cut schools and people howl. They might learn some day, but not anytime soon if Arnold is any indication.

- The 'New Dark Age' will kick-off in California.
We better listen and do what Mr. Lyndon Larouche prescribes before every state in the union follows California into the giant hell-hole that awaits us.

- Meantime, with millions of Americans without jobs, the invasion continues, no Liberal Democrat will address the 500 pound gorilla in the room, and millions of invading, plundering, welfare loving, Illegal Aliens taking millions of jobs that should be American jobs and 100,s billions of dollars in social services that should be for American citizens!
One cannot be political correct and admit that Illegal Aliens are an large part of the problems in this Nation.
Their negative impact extends to every area from Sub-par loans & defaults, Underground economy, Massive document fraud, Lower standard of living, Crime, Overflowing prisons , Bankrupted hospitals, Failing schools, Property Taxes, Insurance costs, Environment, Culture, Welfare costs, Welfare fraud, SS fraud, Voter fraud, Disrespect for our laws & country, our Constitution against invasion and even Balance of payments occurring from oil and other imports to support the 20 to 30 million illegal aliens in this country!
One has to only look at Calif. which is basically mostly an Spanish speaking, Bankrupt state that cannot afford to provide Welfare, Schooling, Medical, Prison cells etc. for millions of MS-13 Gang bangers, Drug dealers, Rapist and other assorted Criminals and uneducated, fast breeding, third world rejects from Mexico!
In a very few years it will be impossible to see where Mexico ends and Calif. begins as both will be an third world cesspool!
Failure to secure our borders and reward the Invading horde for their invasion and their relatives in an never ending chain with American Citizenship is nothing less than committing National Suicide & will assure our future is an over populated Spanish speaking third world Nation that is an Cesspool of Corruption, Crime, Poverty and Misery modeled on Mexico! - Reply to this comment
- California the Golden state, is fast becoming the poster child for an bankrupt third world State!
An unholy alliance of Socialist Democrat politicians, Unions, and Illegal Aliens supporters are feasting at the trough of tax payers paid benefits while taxing & regulating business and the tax paying public into poverty.
The pandering of Left Wing Democrat Politicians to their constituency of Illegal Aliens, open border supporters, and unions are driving business and citizens to other states & countries, while leaving the parasites & welfare leeches in an increasing bankrupt, dysfunctional state!
For years California has ignored economics 101 and imported poverty, Criminals and uneducated Peons from Mexico, while exporting business and educated working tax payers. Like all Socialist & Marxist States the results have been an lowing of living standards & bankruptcy.
Failure to abide by our Constitution against invasion & enforce our Immigration laws and constraints on wages and benefits for public employees will result in turning the Golden State into MexiCalif and the end of the California dream!
The policies of Obama and Wash. DC Democrats are intent on following Calif. policies and are resulting in the same creeping socialist process across American. Amnesty & Citizenship as a reward for their invasion of the USA, will result in the rest of the USA turned into a Spanish speaking third world cesspool, modeled on Mexico and follow California into a polluted, over populated, Spanish speaking third world Nation of Crime, Corruption, Poverty, & Misery! This will result in a population depending on Welfare and the Democrat party, thus assuring the lock on power for the Socialist Democrat party of the United States of Mexico! - Reply to this comment
- noloyalisti, do you believe it is right for Non Californians to pay for services that Californians receive but do not feel are worth paying for, as they refuse to pay for them ? Yes or NO

- No, you should pay for services received. Also services are designed for the benefit of the entire society, not just those who pay or not. For example parks benefit the lives of all, whether you use them or not. Public schools benefit society, whether you have kids or not. That is how universal, single payer health care will work when we finally get it. For the benefit of all who need it and the healthy people will help pay for it until they need it, etc., etc. , etc.
