(This latest foray into deficit financing may, or may not ultimately pay off for the state... it will be quite some time before that is known. But I believe the total amount of bond issuance contemplated for the stem cell initiative PALES when placed beside what's already in their budget just to cover current imbalances... or even when measured against recovering some of the billions lost to illegal price gouging in electricity that the state suffered during the 'Enron period'... which option the Gov. has also foregone.)

I can understand Arnolds thinking, which must be that IF science can provide major benefits from stem cells that IF he has a lock on the research facilities in his state then Calif. will become the stem cell center of the Universe and be highly profitable. He might be right, he might be wrong, its a GAMBLE and the question is, should a STATE be involved in GAMBLING with the PEOPLES MONEY. Thats up to Californians to decide not me. jdn
