Dedicated To The Calamity That Is California And It’s Politics

We find ourselves in a POLITICAL CALAMITY not just in our Nation's capital but here in California as well. Everyday we watch our Country slip farther and farther away from the original vision of our Founding Fathers. We watch as California crumbles underneath the weight of a crushing deficit without the needed leadership to put our state back on track. "We The People" can no longer sit idly by and wait. Take the first step. It is your responsibility to arm yourself with information. You must seek out facts and make up your own mind. No one can tell you how to think, YOU MUST THINK FOR YOURSELF! Part of the reason we are so deeply entrenched in mediocrity is we’ve been all too willing to accept people and their word at face value. We are far too trusting of our Teachers, Main Stream Media and our Politicians. We send our kids to school and expect they will be taught an accurate depiction of History, when in fact History is often rewritten to reflect the views of the “politically correct”. We read newspapers and watch the nightly news and expect we will be told the truth, but instead we’re given agenda based reporting. We elect politicians and trust they will stand by their word and make decisions based on our best interest, only to find we’ve been sold out to special interests. Look around: The herd mentality hasn’t worked out so well, especially here in California. YOU MUST GET INFORMED, BE INFORMED AND STAY INFORMED!

JUNE 26, 2009: Assembly Passes Budget Package-Senate Shoots It down

By CalamityDevon

In a sudden twist in the budget saga, the Assembly passed a budget package yesterday afternoon. With unanimous support, each of the 3 bills were passed without a single “no” vote. Governor Schwarzenegger vowed to veto the bills if they were to pass the Senate. Never fear…they didn’t. Every Republican Senator voted against the measures except for Abel Maldonado of Santa Maria who did not vote either way.

On a side note, rumor has it, after Maldonado completes his final term in the Senate he will reemerge as a Democrat to seek another office. His failure to vote either way on the budget package bodes well for not wanting to alienate Democrats.

The three bills would have added about $5 BILLION in cash back into the states checkbook. That would have bought time to pass a complete budget and end the need for IOU’s.

A robing Peter to pay Paul scenario won’t work with our current state of affairs. Another day wasted on peicemeal stopgap measures with no hope for a complete balanced budget. Let the IOU’s roll….maybe then the Legislature will wake up to the magnitude of California’s financial crisis.
