It didn't come to this. Cutting their wages to min-wage is a political ploy and has nothing to do with the budget being passed or not.

Budgets don't get passed on time all around the country in tons of states and state employee wages don't get slashed.

The gov is using this as leverage against the legislature because people are retarded enough to believe it.

Being pissed that the budget isn't passed is one thing. Being pissed at the legislature for the governor trying to extend his powers into places he has no legal authority is retarded.

Try it elsewhere smart guy.
That is bad logic.

If all the other states where jumping off a bridge, should California jump too lol

Arnold got into office because Davis choice on the upping of the vehicle registrations fees. This is much more of a move than that.
I would not be surprised if a movement will take place to impeach Arnold.

No it isn't because it[budget crises] is a common and realistic problem. It is quite reasonable to compare other budget crises with the one in California.

It would be bad logic if I said the governor should deal with it the way every other state deals with it. Except that would mean I didn't know what I was talking about in the least; which, obviously, is not true.

The governor's tactic has nothing to do with solving the budget crisis other than to capitalize off the ignorance of the general voting public to move some people. It is more about strong arming the state and grabbing at more power than he is not allowed by the California constitution.

It is bold, creative, and just might work. That doesn't mean it is good. And it sure doesn't mean people should be stupid enough to blame the other guy[legislature] when it happens.

wow, that is ridiculous. California has the 8th biggest economy (any where from 7th to 10th depending on the source) in the world, how the fuck are we in so much debt? The state needs to hire a third party accounting firm that specializes in debt relief to balance the books and do it a way that doesn't make all the cuts certain choice areas. Smaller overall cuts in all programs, as opposed to major cuts in specific programs will reduce the drastic consequences, like in this case.
With this one paragraph, u just made more sense to me the the fuckin "governator" ever has!! Dude is fuckin bullshit!

Wait, wait, just wait, andlet’s get this straight.

The governor cuts the checks down to min-wage.

So people get mad at the legislature for it? :confused:

That would be like me walking down the street and kicking you in the balls and then pointing at the guy next to me, but instead of being mad at me (the guy who knocked your nuts into your torso) you punch the guy next to me.

Every day I am more and more amazed at how retarded people are in this country.
People blame the legislature because they wont hurry up and make their fucking minds up and pick a decent budget because if we dont, then the state has to borrow more money to pay for state services/employees, and it will put us in a bigger shit hole.

and ill tell you why hes also to blame, his May Revise made it so impossible for bipartisan agreement that legislators dont know what the fuck to do. He is making all the wrong budget cuts on the backs of those who are most vulnerable.

In my opinion, EVERYONES to blame.

Dems wants to raise taxes only for the Rich, the same taxes that were in place just a few years ago. Republicans refuse to raise taxes and even have a law where people who own yachts dont get taxed. If thats logical to u, u got problems. They call dems over-spenders but not everyone in cali makes republican money.

The Big 4, which includes, Perata and speaker Karen Bass meet regularly to discuss budget but they never agree to shit, and the biggest reason is that its supposed to be the BIG 5, and the governor NEVER shows up. He needs to get his head out of his ass and make a decent budget.

"Republicans refuse to raise taxes and even have a law where people who own yachts dont get taxed"
Is that why alot of rich people own yachts, not because they can afford it but because they can avoid taxes?

thats not the point ,the point is that poor people get the services that they need most cut, ie. education, health, transportation, all in the name of fixing the budget, why not tax those who will BE LESS affected by it, like people who own yachts and not get taxed. anyone who doesnt agree is a fuckin douche.
