"He really didn’t used to be this bad," I can imagine Congressman Kevin McCarthy telling his fellow Republican Congressman from California at their weekly delegation meeting, as they absorb the fact that despite the fact that every one of them opposed President Obama’s pork-laden "stimulus" boondoggle plan, Republican Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger embraced the plan, signing a letter encouraging its passage.
Perhaps the next time that Governor Schwarzenegger is in Washington, D.C., he can stop by a meeting of the California GOPers. Of course, if he did, I would recommend that freshman Representative Duncan D. Hunter stop by the office of his local Assemblyman, Joel Anderson, who can make him some name tags.
It seems remarkably shallow if the only criteria that Governor Schwarzenegger uses on judging this terrible legislation is "how much welfare do we get for California government" — we expect the Governor to apply more sophistication, and reject this kind of redistributive, Keynesian policy proposal as being just what the country DOESN’T need to get back on track.
Well, Governor, courtesy of National Review, here are just 50 (of thousands) of items in that wonderful legislation that you have endorsed.

It would be refreshing and uplifting if FLASH REPORT stop writing about our alledged governor. Anything you write is bizaro and is so upsetting that most of are living on Rolaids…with a Nexium chaser…

As a constituent of both Anderson and Hunter, here in God’s country, I would be happy to introduce the Governor to both of them, as well as to the concept of non-Keynesian economics. Perhaps a book or two, like Road to Serfdom, Economics in One Lesson or even something simple such as Kemp’s American Renaissance. Any other suggestions?

Anything from the Austrian School of Economics/and or the Mises Institute would be good.
