The Sacramento Bee has an excellent article showing how Governor’s proposal is actually a 1.2 to 2 billion dollar cut in educational funding. http://www.sacbee.com/education/story/2450729.html#mi_rss=Education

If anyone is really serious about education, health care, unemployment, poverty, the super rich and the super poor, etc., I would suggest, as a must read Ralph Nader’s new book titled ” Only the Super Rich-Can Save Us”. This epic tale outlines how America has short changed its very existence by corporate greed. And guess who are the revealers- The Super Rich themselves, Warren Buffett, Ross Perot, William Gates Sr., Ted Turner, just to name a few. The book is over seven hundred pages long, but will intrigue you beginning on page one. On page 101, one of the Super-Rich explains why and how the rich and the poor live in the Golden State and what Governor Schwarzenegger must do to rid the State of it debt. If Schwarzenegger takes heed, perhaps he can keep this promise. Get the book, I guarantee if it does not change one’s life, it certainly will change ones perspective.

Remember when Grey Davis was recalled for “gross mismanagement of California Finances by overspending taxpayers’ money, threatening public safety by cutting funds to local governments, failing to account for the exorbitant cost of the energy, and failing in general to deal with the state’s major problems until they get to the crisis stage.”?? Sound familiar? California cannot let short-term rhetorical inspiration stand in for real political problem-solving…again. How is our governor going to keep this promise?

Yeah, right.

A politician’s promises and a dollar will get you a lousy cup of coffee.

(Taking off my cynic’s hat and going back to work now.)
