Democrats have controlled the Legislature in California for as long as can be remembered. If Republicans have no control, how could one blame anybody but those in control? The public fisc is running huge deficits. It doesn't take a study to link the two. Democrats have not controlled spending in California. For you to dissuade me from the obvious, a loose argument is insufficient. But, Mike is correct, Obama will give California a multi trillion dollar bailout, arguing we can't afford for California to go more bankrupt without California fixing its fiscal problems. Yes public spending is a blessing not a curse. Go ahead stick to the sinking ship of California.

Californians have 1) elected liberals, 2) have huge spending on immigrants, many of them illegal, 3) vote for every government program that sounds half-helpful, usually unfunded.
At the same time, largely though voter initiatives, have limited the amount they have to pay in tax. Huge spending + inability to have huge taxes = fiscal irresponsibility. And unlike the federal govt. they can't print money, and their credit sucks. |

It is a Democratically dominated and controlled Legislature which dictates to the Governor. There really is no balance in California, so no, you can't punt that way.

And it's not surprising. The party not in power can say all the right things. However, the Republicans don't have a clear message which resonates with voters. In the last election, the Dems had a message, whether it was achievable or simply fluff is another matter, but they had one. Now that the Dems have ignored the economy and rammed insurance reform for health care down our throats, many have strep throat. The remaining question is dependent upon the resolution of the strep, does it clear up or morph into mono.
