Typical NT'er "But he has so much swag" Typical NT'erOriginally Posted by Rexanglorum
The governor did to our State what no earthquake, fire, flood or draught could accomplish, he was instrumental in turning California into the Michigan and Ohio of the West. For the first time ever since California was admitted to the Union in 1850, the State has failed to gain seats in Congress, the "car tax" has increased dramatically, the business climate is more hostile than it was when Governor Davis was recalled, our bond ratings have been down graded and the state is paying some of its fiscal obligations in the form of IOU's, housing is as unaffordable as ever, jobs are scarce, the low income public schools are a shame on our State and even our State's iconic film and tech industries are leaving for greener pastures.
Tom McClintock, a former State Senator, said that California has become the "economic developement committee for Arizona, Idaho and Oregon." That was in 2003 and that statement is more true than ever right now, except we can now add Texas, Colorado, Washington, British Columbia and a lot of other juridictions to that list.
He was the worst governor in the history of California, by a huge margin.
