When Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and the legislature reach a budget deal, lawmakers in Sacramento will spin this as a victory for California.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

In July the state controller issued 153,000 IOU's worth over $681 million. Many of the recipients, like Nori in the video, are disabled and living on SSI.

The 2/3rd rule, which makes it impossible to raise revenue with less than a 2/3rds super-majority. has allowed Schwarzenegger, along with a radical Republican minority in the state legislature, to hold our state hostage. By refusing to consider any reasonable fee increases, such as for oil extraction and tobacco sales, Schwarzenegger and California Republican Party have chosen to throw away California's future.

1. Yes, He is a robot. Next question.

Just another day in the life of the governator, I guess. If the GOP wants to talk approval ratings, well, their California governor was just in the hot seat at 33% ( www.politico.com/news/stories/0509/22688.html ) and falling.

My best wishes to Nori, and everyone, who is suffering out in California and yet goes unheard.

2. I will never understand

how the people of California elected a man, who destroyed their state repeatedly in movies, as their governor. Only now, he is doing it for real.

3. He is the Terminator...

He is well on his way to terminating our state, thanks to the idiots who voted for him.
