Lessons for Liberals in California

Maybe even more importantly there is general mistrust in the government period. With the Bush Administration incompetence, and the Katrina failures at all level, maybe the American people are afraid of throwing good maney after the bad. California has seen some crazy governmental SNAFUs also with the budget fights that Arnold has been having with the Democratic legislature.

I wish that Californians were being more thoughtful and scared of ballot-box budgeting. I doubt it though. The better answer (and what that crazy Grover loves!) is that government is considered incompetent and not worthy of any (new) tax dollars. The better answer is maybe a healthy look at California's constitution: No more ballot initiatives, no term limits on legislature, revising the state tax code.
