I would think Republicans would be thrilled with Jerry Brown. Wasn't the budget shortfall under Ahhnold almost 30 billion? Isn't it now down to about 10 billion?
And look at the things he cuts: Welfare, state workers are taking a 10% pay decrease and Republicans favorite: $750 million from services for the developmentally disabled
Don't Republicans want to end the Special Olympics and other programs to help disabled Americans?
Jerry Brown
Specifically, the budget plan would cut:
$1.5 billion from welfare
$1.7 billion from Medi-Cal
$500 million each from the UC and CSU systems
$750 million from services for the developmentally disabled
And $200 million from the state bureaucracy.
I agree with everything but the developmentally disabled. This would include the mentally ill, who have always got the short end of the stick. THESE are the people that need help, yet the ones who truly need it and deserve it never see a dime of the money.
As far as state parks, Washington now is charging entrance to all parks - 10 bucks a person OR a Discover Pass for 30 bucks a year for the whole family. PLUS the price of camping overnight if you so choose.
And Washington has been under total Democrat rule for over 40 years. So you can't blame OUR fiscal issues on Republicans at all. When they tax each and everything you do, think about or visit, people quit doing the things that are taxed the most, it's that simple. It's like giving your kid an allowance and he knows what that is supposed to cover. Soon he's buying more and more and wants more and more money from you. That's what happening now. There are so many cuts the government could make, things which would not affect any of us, which many of us don't know exist, but as I said the mentally ill have gotten the short of the stick for a very long time.
Obama made many Democrats angry when he supported and signed into law a bill that makes it legal to carry loaded fire arms into national parks. Republicans say he want's to take away their guns. So tired of Republican's ignorance. They just hate the black guy. Their only real issue is race.
What the hell does that have to do with the price of rice? That blaming any disagreement with Obama's policies, etc., on his RACE is really getting old. Do you not like Bush because he is WHITE? Or Palin because she is A WOMAN? Makes about as much sense doesn't it. Besides, Obama is just as much WHITE as he is BLACK - he just got the genetic package to LOOK black. So let's just let him do whatever he wants, because if we don't like it we are racist. Well you know what? I hope to hell he DOES get reelected, with a Republican-nominated congress. like what happened with Clinton. Remember how good the economy was back then? It's the congress that rules things, not the president. Think about it. Clinton got all the credit when it was the Republicans, and hopefully the same will happen with obama. Republicans will get in there and fix things and Obama will get all the credit - but oh well. he NEEDS the praise, we don't.
