> partly because companies that embody its dreams are not chipping in with the bills. Nope. CA has a spending problem. CA is taking in about what it spent in 2008. Unless you think that 2008 was a disaster, spending that amount now should be perfectly acceptable. CA has a deficit because it is spending far more than it spent in 2008. As to my "spending plan", it's rewind the spending until the budget is balanced. If the legislature and governor want to keep any specific new spending, they get to cut an equivalent amount of old spending.
