This week’s economic news has been pretty rough and back here in California, where the national trend always starts, well, the news was absolutely the worst. We’re still 15 billion in the hole and our State’s budget in now weeks overdue with no resolution in sight. . . .
The reality train is speeding headlong into a democrat spending train overloaded with passengers seeking a free ride! This pending (or should I say spending) train wreck is going to hurt a lot of people, but the damage should be more than enough incentive for voters and party leaders alike to make smarter choices for our future. For any bureaucrat with an IQ two points above a rock California’s spending woes should be seen as a mandate for change!
From little Chico with its millions in red ink right up the line to the Capitol in Sacramento with billions in red ink, it’s all about gross over-spending. As Senator Tom McClintock recently said, and I paraphrase, Sometimes when government has gotten so far out of whack it’s not enough to merely reform, you have to tear it down and start over.” Fiscal prudence and saying no to social programs isn’t what our increasingly immature AND whiny voters wanted to hear in past elections, but it’s what they needed to hear in order to grow up. As the commercial goes, “CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?”
It’s time to GROW UP Californians and let go of those failed policies that led us here and start voting out those spendy incumbents every chance! We need to begin anew with fresh faces and ideas….unless you LIKE train wrecks every few years?
