IC, California has been under the rule of a REPUBLICAN governor since 2003 (Arnold, the Sperminator), not some phantom liberal. When you preach government cut-backs, you had better be prepared for the worst. The evil government is broke! You are getting exactly what you wanted! Criminals will be loosed upon the streets (streets which, by the way, will no longer be maintained by the evil government). Remember the fun we had when Ronald Reagan cut funding for institutions for the insane? Yes, homeless people everywhere! Oh, we are in store for SO much more fun!
