Experts peg Bush deficits for four years at 1.2 trillion. Dont expect it to be much less and it might be more.

Diane,

Re: Can't blame that on Bush. CA politics are so ridiculous, it's time for a revolution, and the recall Davis petition is just the start.

Part of the blame for the terrible budget troubles in California needs to be assigned to George Bush. He was, in the end, responsible for the collusion and criminal conspiracy between Dick Cheney and Ken Lay to continue the ridiculous "free market" price gouging of April, May and June of 2001. They conspired to steal from California ratepayers in an April 16, 2001 and by general agreement.

Bush is also responsible for the failure of FERC to impose caps on wholesale electric rates in the West until late June, 2001. This was a conspiracy worth billions to the energy bandits like Lay and the the other power marketers.

Governor Gray Davis had no choice (in view of the failure of the Bush Administration to protect the citizens of this country from rapacious crony capitalist criminals) other than to sign confiscatory contracts with the same companies that later were indicted and convicted of fraud. This alone should be ground for recission. The failure of courts to do so is a compounding outrage against the ratepayers of the West.

And now the Republicans have the gall to suggest that the very Party that created this financial disaster be put back in charge? A person either has to be either a complete blithering idiot or a crook to vote for the Republicans in California.
