#4 How about this, instead of taxing more SPEND LESS!

That is like anti-matter to the liberal line of thought. Any contact with it will cause them to be destroyed.

Just one minor add-on highlighted.

#7 No $hit Arnold. The genie has been out of the bottle for some time. After decades of liberal policies, run away government, rampant government spending, the fleeing of businesses, providing government welfare and services to everyone legal and illegal,in California, you are surprised? I don't know what will fix California or if it can be fixed.

#8 Beware the Fed Repo Man: Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has proposed closing 220 state parks. But the National Park Service warned in a letter to Schwarzenegger that six of those parks are on former federal land that could revert to the U.S. government if they are not kept open as parks.

#9 Doesn't the government pay for the courts?
if so try cutting judges pay, and the screaming will reach deafening levels, issue them IOU"s instead of pay.

#10 California after Man.... you wouldn't know we'd been there.

Man's environmental footprint would, according to a report in New Scientist, begin to deteriorate almost immediately, with light pollution the first to go as power stations ceased to provide energy.

By tomorrow, street lights and house lights left on by their former occupants would start to go out.

Streets and cultivated fields would be the next to go.

Within 20 years, village streets and rural roads would have vanished under a thick matting of weeds; fields would be overgrown within months.

Urban streets would take a little longer, but even in huge man-made sprawls such as London and Sydney, plants would have taken over within about 50 years. Buildings would decay rapidly. Wooden structures would collapse first, assaulted by bugs and grubs. All such homes would be gone in a century.

Glass and steel tower blocks that create city skylines would mostly fall down within 200 years.

Brick, stone and concrete structures would last longer.

With exceptions - the pyramids are already 3000 years old - by the next millennium there would be little more left than ruins.

Link.

#12 They're ignoring massive earthworks, like dams (Solid concrete, acts like solid rock) Interstate and other major highways where they cut through small hills, and railroad cuts.

Those would remain.

#14 Ya know Ahnauld, your movie Commando* had a very satisfactory solution for a spendthrift legislature.

* I think Commando had the highest BPM (Bodycount Per Minute) of any movie.
