"I was elected by the people of this state to lead. Since the legislative leadership refuses to act, I will act without them," Schwarzenegger said Thursday in announcing the decision.

Why use the word Reichstag?

Think Weimar Republic and Austrian leaders.

Are you saying that Schwarzenegger is a Nazi? That's weak.

Dude, I'm only joking :p

Ah a nazi joke? Don't think he can invade Poland from California.

Seriously thou, There are more people that I'd call a Nazi before Arnold. He'd be a democrat in South Carolina.

Since we allready have a FED.EPA..get rid of the Calif.EPA (CARB)..they are purveyors of bad decisions like MTBE and numerous other foolish costly reulations that negate prudent environmentalism. Closing down that one parasitic agency would save the state and taxpayers billions.

Arnold's just forcing his 'vision' down the throats of everyone involved. When you can't work with other politicians, just figure out a way to go around them. I sure hope he knows what he's doing.

The cuts, expected to come from social service programs, free up money for city and county governments that have lost more than $300 million since the governor voided an unpopular tripling of the state's car tax.
Typically we call this a self-inflicted wound.

A few weeks ago, Schwarzenegger had proposed suspending a civil rights law known as the Lanterman Act, a measure that guarantees care for the disabled, but administration officials said the governor has changed his mind about cutting millions in services for the developmentally disabled.
Outstanding work . . . clearly he's a member of the clan in name only.

Kennedy Krieger?s tradition of improving the lives of children with neurological disorders dates back to 1937, when Winthrop Phelps, M.D., an orthopedic surgeon from Baltimore, responded to a dire need for treatment for individuals with cerebral palsy. He founded the Children?s Rehabilitation Institute, the first treatment facility in the country dedicated solely to children with cerebral palsy. The Institute was renamed the Kennedy Institute in 1968 in memory of President John F. Kennedy, who enacted the Medical Training Act during his administration, to protect the rights and improve the lives of persons with disabilities. In 1992, the name was changed again to Kennedy Krieger Institute to honor original board member and long-time supporter, Zanvyl Krieger.

He has no choice. the bonds are worthless (ie no ones buying) so you either raise taxes or cut spending now or people don't get paid it's that simple. Probably should sell off some of that state property they are hoarding though.
