Damage By California Politicians

Feb 19, 2010

Meg Whitman can fix this giant mess.
"The damage inflicted by California's politicians is incalculable. Their budgets are not only unbalanced, they are also fraudulent, thereby destroying trust in government. They have damaged California's credit, increasing the cost of borrowing by billions of dollars and thus further undermining California's fiscal capacity. They have ruined California's public schools and threaten its great university system, driving down its reputation and driving out students who cannot afford the increased costs or will not accept reduced quality.
While capitulating repeatedly to public unions and agreeing to fiscally irresponsible future obligations, they have inflicted pain and suffering on many groups in need: the disabled, the mentally ill, the homeless and the disadvantaged. Perhaps worst of all, they are destroying the engine that has generated the resources California needs to be great by making it a terrible place to locate a business."
