Members of the California State Assembly are traveling today to the State Capitol. 47 of them will arrive to cast what must be the dumbest vote in the history of California politics and policy — political
theater at its worst. That would be the Assembly Democrats who apparently will follow the unwise bidding of Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez and the group of left-wing ideologues at the center of his leadership team. For Nunez, passing a massive government-growth health care proposal is a feather in his Loius Vuitton cap. For the others in his cabal, it is about their fervor to expand the size and scope of government — a need to expand the "social contract" between government and the people through and ever expanding redistribution of wealth. Whether blinded by pride like Nunez, or by ideology, like his Lieutenants, Democrats are prepared to pass legislation that would be the framework for a massive $14 billion ++ entitlement program. This when California is facing what can truly be called a massive financial crisis, entirely the construct of out-of-control increases in state spending.

Incredible. Hillary Care has won the day in California.
Bascially the citizens of California have rejected Reagan’s vision of a small government, not to mention the vision our founding father’s vision.
Increasing the tax burden by 14+ Billion dollars-and it will probably be twice that within a year or two-while we have a fiscal emergeny in the state can only be explained by drug use.
Again, we need to purge the Republican Party of the liberals who have brought us this monstrosity.
