Californians--vote NO on 57 and 58

[The Zanti Regent]

The most important thing tomorrow is STOPPING Arnold from letting his Wall Street Buddies fleece us for an additional 30 billion!

NO ON 57 AND 58!

[HalfManHalfBiscuit]

1. Don't think so. Both the SF Chronicle and SJ Merc were yes on 57 and 58

These are very liberal papers.

They were also both yes on 55 and 56.

[IndianaGreen]

2. The state is bankrupt

The other choice is to cut government services to balance the budget.

I would let the people of California make their choice tomorrow. They are the ones that will have to live the consequences of their vote.

Personalizing an issue such as this just because you don't like the Governor is not a very smart way to vote.

[Dookus]

4. no

the other choice is to raise taxes to pay our expenses.

Foisting the debt onto the next generation is NOT the only possible choice.

In fact, it's a horrible choice.

6. Raising taxes at this stage will sure ly push CA over the cliff

Businesses are running away now. If taxes go higher,
good bye jobs, hello bankruptcy.

[Dookus]

8. nonsense

fiscal responsibility is rewarded, not punished.

Using long-term bonds to solve a short-term crisis is bad policy. Arnold promised he could balance the budget. His plan was to "open the books - audit everything." Let him keep his promise.

Going into long-term debt over this is NOT the solution.

10. well said, no on 57 and 58

Further, the Governator is getting all the adds for 57 and 58 paid for by big dirty money. Kind of makes you wonder why these guys are so keen to make the Governator look good. Either way, the mentality that raising taxes is somehow unamerican is rediculous. Sometimes you've got to give a little to get something in return.

3. What do you guys think about voting No on 57, Yes on 58?

I heard that they are tied together, one must pass for the other to pass...but is there any reason why voting yes on 58 alone would be an unwise thing to do?

[rdfi-defi]

5. no on both 57 and 58

[newyawker99]

9. Hi rdfi=defi!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[Anwen]

7. I plan to vote NO on 57 and 58

unless somebody can convince me otherwise.
