Schwarzenegger Becomes Calif. Gov., Seeks 'Miracle'
And that's what it'll take. Man got elected because California was facing an enormous deficit, and his first act in office is to make it $4 billion worse by repealing the unpopular car tax.
When are Republicans going to learn basic damn arithmetic? That to mindlessly chant "tax cuts good, tax increases bad" is a good way to get elected but a bad way to do the job of governing? That when you have a deficit, you either raise taxes or cut services? That you cannot make up budget shortfalls by cutting pork entirely because the pig ain't that fat?
