Ted, If your tax revenues are not sufficient to pay operating costs, then you have a budget problem whether its from rising costs and lowered revenues and/or both.

My statement was solely in regards to Prop. 13, which only addresses the revenue side of the equation. You say Prop. 13 is part of the revenue problem, but Prop. 13 didn't stop CA from having budget surpluses in the late 90's, which helped fuel the huge increases in expenses.

CA's costs are rising for all the reasons I cited in my last post. And most of them are legitimate. Its a reality that certain elements within the state do not want to face.

I've already agreed with you WRT costs, except for the "legitimate" part, because that seems to suggest that sticking one's head in the sand is a legitimate state of mind. (That probably wasn't what you meant, but oh well.)
