Arnold Schwarzenegger Watch: Fiscal Emergency for California
First Lady Maria Shriver and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger arrive at the California Museum of History, Women and the Arts for a ceremony honoring inductees into the 2007 California Hall of Fame in Sacramento, Calif., Wednesday, Dec. 5, 2007.
Arnold’s post-partisan result – A $14 Billion deficit and a fiscal emergency.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said Friday he will declare a “fiscal emergency” in January to give him and the Legislature more power to deal with the state’s growing deficit.
Schwarzenegger made the announcement Friday after meeting with lawmakers and interest groups this week to tell them California’s budget deficit is worse — far worse — than economists predicted just a few weeks ago.
The shortfall is not $10 billion, but more than $14 billion — a 40 percent jump that would put it in orbit with some of the state’s worst fiscal crisis, those who have met with him said.
Arnold wouldn’t or couldn’t govern and now Californians will suffer. Isn’t this why Democrat Governor Gray Davis was recalled?
The California GOP made a big mistake with Arnold just like Minnesota did with Jesse Ventura.
Update:
Damn, did Hugh Hewitt get this wrong. And, to think he is supporting Romney for President. But, then again, so is Tony Strickland.

The picture of the Terminal (left) and the Terminator (right) is a good indicator of the truth of spousal abuse and how it gets carried over into the abuse of society. And whether we are all suffering from Battered Wife Syndrome, where we are afraid to speak out, or whether we’re confused about what’s being done to us, or whether it’s because somewhere deep inside we think we deserve it, it is wrong and the Terminator should be terminated before we all end up like OJ’s girlfriends and he gets off scot-free.
