Krugman is a typical liberal whose only solution to government spending is to raise taxes. Link please. The thought that there might be one dollar of money wasted by the government or that there is any government program that should be eliminated horrifies him. The fact is California's problem is not lack of tax revenue. It is over spending. Yeah, right.....that tired old song. You wingers have lead this country and CA into a huge fiscal mess with that tired tune. Its time for your all to retire and move on. In 2000 their budget was 94.4 billion dollars. The projected revenues for 2009 are 128 billion. That is roughly a 34 billion dollar increase in available over a nine year period, or a 36% increase in revenues in nine years. If nine years ago you made 94,000.00 and today you made 128,000, would you be complaining. So what? A state is not like an individual........its responsiblities and problems are far more complicated. CA is in serious trouble tanks to wingers and their understanding of how fiscal responsibility and gov't work.
