So, California...Follow

Who is it going to be, Re-Tread Governor Jerry Brown or Dot Com Bubble Cast Off Meg Whitman? Is there a Democrat alive willing to take on the same public employee unions he empowered nearly 4 decades ago? Is there a Republican alive who can convince Californians that their loony spending habits really do have to change in order to not go in to receivership? Are either of these two that person? Or will this just boil down to another he said/she said partisan fight?

Love the weather; hate the people.

I love it when people try to be insulting, but only come off as petty. Oh, I'm sorry. Did I insult someone with eight thousand posts that believes I need to change my life?

You mean you hate it when people do petty things like pointing out someone else's post count?



Oh, and fUck you too, you insipid cUnt.

But on a serious note, as a resident, I feel there is a good chance Ca. is actually starting to realize a few things.

Even if for the wrong reasons. Time will tell.

Now THAT'S funny. Right now the Marine Corps is one of the harder branches to get into. Army will take people 38 years old. Navy has a tendency to overlook certain.. events. I was accepted into the air force because of my test scores but I chose this branch because I wanted the best training possible. Again, old Corps where any moron could get in (I'm assuming you were enlisted at one point) vs. new Corps where you can't even make it in if you have a sleeve anymore, and if you do you'll need to have all sorts of waivers because of a TATTOO.



"But mooooom, he started it!"



Point proven.

Edit: By the way, it's CORPS. CORPS. WITH AN S. I'm tired of correcting people about that.

Your logic: You say something about californians, I say something as well. I'm the problem. Wouldn't that make you the problem as well? Or are you just going off my other posts because you don't understand and likely never will?

With the context of those questions, you think someone's going to answer? Someone sure needs a happy pill.

If this is what your ******** about then every single poster on this board is a problem.

As for California, they should really cut down on how much they brag about their state, and start cutting how much they spend as a state.

She's telling people what they want to hear: that the problems are fixable, and that the fix is simple.

Spend less! How very easy.

Nobody wants to hear that the state economy is huge and complex, and that no matter what you do, there will be some pain and some unhappy people as a result.

She has spent billions - billions - of dollars convincing people that she knows what she's talking about. Had she just contributed that money to the state budget we'd be much closer to solvent.

I heard her personal campaign spending was around $150 million so far. Are you including something else or being creative? I'm just curious, because if that is real than the outside contributors should really hear about the foundation I'm setting up.

Seriously though. Learn to hate both.

There isn't an easy fix to the CA situation. They let the horse out of the barn decades ago and it's about to drown in the Mississippi River.

The saddest thing I saw when I was there was a broken elevator on the UC Berkeley campus with a sign: "Elevator repairs have been delayed due to budget issues. See Jenny at the front office for more information." This was in a 4 story building with classrooms, and no other working elevator, and no means for anyone to get to the top two floors in a wheelchair. I'm sure the ADA would have something to say about it.
