Once again the spectacle of an obstinate minority ruining the state financially in the name of fiscal responsibility. A doublethink worthy of Orwell himself. The downgrading of California's bond rating alone will cause far more damage than any Republican savings could hope to achieve. Permalink

Your post makes no sense. I don't care how much the downgrade costs. Someone has to show fiscal responsibility. S/he has real balls to dig in.

You make it seem like it's not the majority's fault.

Nice try. I hope you don't really believe what you wrote.
