Jerry Brown Sworn-IN!!!

[CrusaderFrank]

I've said it countless times before, somewhere in the Ukraine, Soviet War Planners are laughing themselves nearly to death. They spent all their time targeting US industry for destruction with nuclear weapons when all they had to do was let Democrats run things.

 

[Wry Catcher]

Have I mentioned that Meister is a liar? Oh, of course in post 93. The reason to post this again, is to remind everyone that the echo chamber relies on lies, half-truths, innuendos and rumor to support their failed ideology.
Simply reading this thread provides enough evidence for the discriminating reader to always doubt anything posted by a member of the echo chamber; it is a reasonable thing to do.

No way.

Why is it SO many republicans have SO many disgruntled employees?

Brown has a great fiscal record idiot

No he doesn't. When he became Gov. the first time, Ca. had a surplus, when he left, Ca. had a deficit. Don't try and spread propaganda like that TruthDoesn'tMatter.

Editorial: Vote Jerry Brown for governor of California
Monday, November 1st, 2010

By facing a 12.4 percent unemployment rate and a budget deficit of $19.1 billion, California’s next governor will have to make important decisions from day one. After examining both candidates’ plans for dealing with the budget, the environment and the economy, the editorial board recommends that voters choose Democratic nominee Jerry Brown for governor of California.

Though less than comprehensive, Brown’s budget plan offers pragmatic ideas for addressing the Golden State’s fiscal woes. He promises to adopt a “pay-as-you-go” funding approach, vetoing any new spending bills that are not financed by additional revenues, and proposing a constitutional amendment to write the policy into law. He has championed a “rainy day fund,” which would collect money during times of budget surplus to soften the blow of economic downturns. He has also published specific plans to reduce the structural costs of the state prison system and Medi-Cal. Brown’s proposals will not close the deficit any time soon, but they do offer a long-term solution to a long-term problem. Any who doubt Brown’s commitment to fiscal responsibility need only to look at his record as governor during the 1970s, when he oversaw the largest budget surplus in state history.

Todays cons care nothing for facts, they just want to follow Norquist and clan into the end of the US.

They dont care about budgets, they are merely an excuse to cut the legs out of our countries governemtn until they can roll it down the hall and drown it.

They want a country controled by corportations.

Corporations are the only thing the right cares about.

Listen to their every word.

Its all the poor peoples fault and the CEOs are the Heros.

They are either dumber than ******* bricks OR they WANT to distory the government from within.

Jerry Brown - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Upon taking office, Brown gained a reputation as a fiscal conservative.[10][11] The American Conservative later noted he was "much more of a fiscal conservative than Governor Reagan."[11] His fiscal restraint resulted in one of the biggest budget surpluses in state history, roughly $5 billion.[11][12][13] For his personal life, Brown refused many of the privileges and perks of the office, forgoing the newly constructed governor's residence and instead renting a modest apartment at the corner of 14th and N Streets, adjacent to Capitol Park in downtown Sacramento.[14] Instead of riding as a passenger in a chauffeured limousine as previous governors had done, Brown drove to work in a Plymouth Satellite sedan.[15][16]

Reagan, himself, argued that the income tax was the only levy that could generate needed revenues and provide property tax relief. Reagan's plan raised taxes $900-million. The tax increases signed by Reagan did more than close the budget gap. They kept pumping revenue into the state treasury well after the crisis was over. In fact, the tax increase piled up so much revenue into the state treasury that within a decade the state was sitting on a six billion dollar surplus or about 40% of the entire state budget at the time.

With the tax spigot turned on, Reagan, himself, could not turn it off. His measure on the special election 1973 ballot to limit spending was defeated. Tax revenue continued pouring into the state treasury after the budget crisis was past. In fact, for the five years between the defeat of the Reagan initiative to Proposition 13's tax revolt in 1978, state spending increased an amazing 12.5% a year; state revenues went up an incredible 18.4% a year. It was coming in so fast; government couldn't spend it all!

The existence of a growing surplus became a major issue in the Proposition 13 campaign. Voters were convinced government was too fat, and they voted overwhelmingly for Proposition 13.

Jerry Brown, Pat's son, inherited the governor's chair and budget surplus from Reagan. Ironically, with the treasury bursting at the seams, Brown was talking about an "era of limits."

I guess wry's echo chamber from the left just glossed over this. It's okay....it's how he rolls.

And you ******* pretended that Prop 13 did not cut the revenue of Cali by 57% and blamed it on Brown who tried to keep 13 from passing.

You are a lying shithole miester

When was spending ever reined in to compensate?...Never.

Nope...Moonbeam, his successors and their pinko cohorts in the state assembly just kept on a-spending.

Now, go take your Prozac.

Please don't even take in account the amount of spending that circle jerk of a gov. did while he was in office, TruthDoesn'tmatter. Prop 13 saved a lot of elderly that were on fixed incomes from losing their homes as the the prices soared. Of course, you could care less about that part of the Ca. population, huh? Your a hypocritical twit, Truthdoesn'tmatter.

Governor Moonbeam.

I did not live in California during Governor Moonbeams rule.

To be fair we will have to see if Jerry Brown reverses the policies of The Terminator. Arnold Schwarzenegger was a disaster.

There are a few things all of equal importance. Energy is the number one priority, without Energy a nation dies.

Are our energy policies in California good or bad. That fact that Energy gets more expensive every year is disturbing, without cheap energy there is no industry.

Without cheap energy food prices rise. California produces I would guess the most produce in the nation. Next time you buy a salad, asparagus, beef, even cotton, the price is direct reflection of the policy of California. California has an obligation to provide the USA with the cheapest, best quality food that our modern society needs. That is all reflected in the Energy policy.

If Jerry Brown allows the Green Energy to continue thus continuing the importation of power from outside the state everyone in the USA is going and is paying more for food.

The rise in the cost of food is directly tied to the cost of electricity.

We need massive amounts of Nuclear Energy now. Nothing else matters, everything in the USA and especially in California is related to Energy.

I suspect that Jerry Brown will try and keep the status quo under the false belief that our incomes will rise and in the future we will be able to pay the high price for everything.

I suspect that banks are holding the houses they recover from foreclosure so that they do not flood the market with low cost housing that the tax base is based on.

Jerry Brown may just try to keep things floating until the economy picks up, then they will continue with the policies that are destroying the USA.

I'm wondering if Brown will push to legalize marijuana and to empty his state's prisons of non-violent, non minor-related pot offenses as one very good way to reduce spending and raise money via big tax input.

It costs an average of $50k to house one prison inmate per annum and there are more than two thousand marijuana "offenders" in California's prisons. There are even more on parole and probation. And the cost of processing and prosecuting everyone arrested for simple possession, even if they are released with minor penalties, is considerable.

well as of now....possesion of an Oz or less is now one of these.... and then...........

So I've heard -- and that's a good step forward.

But it still costs a lot to arrest and process one who will now have a police record, which in many cases can be ruinous to one's future. And if pot were legally available, rather than costing the state money to enforce needless, counterproductive laws the state could be receiving around $50 in tax revenue for every ounce of marijuana sold. Which would amount to a hell of a lot of money!

True.
Fixed incomes with a lot of interest from state bonds for tens of thousands of elderly.
If CA went bankrupt that goes away.

Ol' Duncan MacGillivray's quite the lyin' asshole.

"California Republicans were impressed with Reagan's political views and charisma after his "Time for Choosing" speech, and nominated him for Governor of California in 1966. In Reagan's campaign, he emphasized two main themes: "to send the welfare bums back to work," and in reference to burgeoning anti-war and anti-establishment student protests at the University of California at Berkeley, "to clean up the mess at Berkeley." He was elected, defeating two-term governor Edmund G. "Pat" Brown, and was sworn in on January 3, 1967. In his first term, he froze government hiring and approved tax hikes to balance the budget.

***​

The Deukmejian administration entered office during a national economic recession. California had a $1.5 billion budget deficit with an unemployment rate of 11.2%. He first halted the hiring of new state employees and banned out of state travel for those in government. He rejected the legislature's demands for tax hikeshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Deukmejian, and pared $1.1 billion from its budget by selectively vetoing spending items."

Please don't provide me with biased links and expect me to accept that as 'evidence'. What Gloria Allred 'charges' is not fact - it is opinion. She had an agenda. The 'illegal immigrant' shit is nonsense.

Brown was a ******* idiot last time around. I have no evidence to suggest he will be anything else this time around. Thankfully, our family business is no longer located in CA. We were smart enough to get out.... so we won't be paying for CAs stupidity.

maybe you should actually change you name from california girls to something else now. since you and your family fled the state. call yourself wyoming girl or arkansas girl or retarted girl or wherever your family went. you dont give a shit about this state and never well. youre probably a fat disgusting snaggle tooth of a whore who doesnt have any friends and simply comes on here to spew bullshit to feel better about her life.

Actually, she's quite a hottie and she's my friend. She is also very brilliant. And I don't use that lightly.

Was common sense an oxymoron choice for a screen name? Because rather than using common sense, you are instead turning to fallacies to make your point. I would think that if you were serious about common sense and reason, you'd avoid the name calling and actually focus on arguments rather than turning solely to emotionally based attacks.

I don't see anything changing out there. They are a fallen Empire at this point. Their Glory Days are long long gone. It is very sad but it is what it is.
