I knew Arnold Shriver Kennedy Schwarzenegger was up to something when he gave Obama an “A for effort” the other day. Well, it didn’t take long to find out. The California Governor (RINO) is looking to Washington to solve the fiscal mess of his state. The kicker is that he’s threatening to cut services if the rest of the republic doesn’t bail him out. What nerve. Why doesn’t he just get it over with and start calling himself a progressive democrat?
If Washington does not provide roughly $8 billion in new aid for the state, the governor threatens to severely cut back — if not eliminate — CalWORKS, the state’s main welfare program; the In-Home Health Care Services program for the disabled and elderly poor, and two tax breaks for large corporations recently approved by the Legislature, the officials said.
Schwarzenegger also will propose extending a cut in the state payroll that is scheduled to expire this summer. That cut has translated into 200,000 state workers being furloughed three days a month, the equivalent of a 14% pay cut. Lawmakers would have the option of extending the furloughs, imposing layoffs or some combination of the two.
The governor is scheduled to unveil his plan publicly early next month. Administration spokesman Matt David declined to comment on the details. ….
Another example of decades of liberal governance. No wonder small business bankruptcies are up 81% in California.
Exit question: What’s going to happen when Obama bails out California? Will he announce he doesn’t want to be in the business of running a state as he appoints a California Czar?
Via memeorandum
He’ll just do the usual “it would have been so much worse if we didn’t step in to stop the collapse of the inherited policies of the Bush administration” bilge. Then, all the blue state (Michigan) Governors will belly up to the trough for the same, hoping that they will get federal taxpayer money to cover their corrupt spending and fiscally irresponsible ideology. It’s all good then LC.
