Forgive me for this RANT. Don't take it personal that I disagree with you but I couldn't help but get this off my chest.

Here are two real numbers put out by Bustamante and Davis prior to this election:

It would cost upwards of 60-100 million to hold the recall election in California.

They spend $257,000 per classroom in this state to educate the kids.

Explain why it cost me 10 bucks to go cast a vote mr. genius. Oh, and they shut down about 1/3rd of the polling places. That number is the most forked up thing I have ever heard. It's nothing more than the california govt establishment trying to make it harder for people to vote.

Explain why the kids don't see anywhere close to that 257 K in the classroom. I'll tell you why. Because the money is getting pissed away on idiotic administrative costs that have nothing to do with the tasks at hand.

Another thing, healthcare costs in california are OUT OF CONTROL. Doctors are ripping off the system for every penny with the full cooperation of insurance companies who know they can pass the costs on to businesses and raise the bottom line. Meanwhile the quality of the care is ATROCIOUS with greedy doctors becoming sales whores for their favorite treatment options.

You can blather on all you want about the tight budget, but the fact is a LARGE chunk of money is being wasted by greedy bastards who are lining their pockets on the backs of taxpayers.

Ahnuld got elected because a big chunk of people in California believe that you could put a freaking monkey in the governors seat and do as good a job as anybody else because the budgets are spent and all the legislature does is fight over every nickel and dime and doesn't get a damn thing done.

Bottom line is nobody gives a damn what gets cut anymore as long as they don't see the idiots in Sacramento piss it away on booze and broads.
