Californians - what to do about the bond measures? [View All]

[Dookus]

I'm really undecided on props 56, 57 and 58 (leaning towards no, though).

I have conflicting desires here. One is to help my state get out of the mess it's in. The other desire, though, is to show that Schwarzenegger is a lying sleazeball.

He assured us during his campaign he could balance the budget by simply "opening the books and auditing everything." Well, he was wrong - as I well knew. He won largely on the promise to cut the car tax (which was dishonest, because the car tax HAD been cut in good times, then restored to normal in bad times).

So instead of actually raising taxes and dealing with spending, he wants to pass the debt on to the next generation.

But... I know if the measures fail, draconian cuts will occur. But if they pass, we're just handing the problem to those who come later.

I'm torn - let me hear your thoughts.
