Heading for Failure

My state, California, and our country is drifting on the brink of collapse not only financially but morally. Gov. Arnold told the State Assembly we have 14 days left of money. This is truly embarrassing for a state that is the 5th largest economy in the world. We should have plenty of money, be in the black in our budget. The scary thing is the way California goes, the rest of the country usually follows.

We recently had 5 propositions voted down in our special election. These propositions that wanted to take money from children programs, mental health, fire, police and schools. I can figure out a way to balance this budget in a hurry without cutting these essential programs. Lets stop supporting illegal aliens health care, giving them state benefits even those of us who pay for it can't get. This would save billions of dollars.

Our state wants to cut the essentials like fire, as if we have no major fire in California. Really? This is their best idea? Cut police, when we have large crime problems with the largest population of any state in the union? Cut our education, when the kids are our future that might be smarter than us to get us out of these problems?

It amazing to see the similarities from our state to our country. We can save billions by stopping forgeign aide, support medicare programs fro the people who don't need it. I am all for giving Medicare to the people who paid into it, the retirees, the US citizen who is incapable of working but stop giving it to anyone who crosses our border or able body Americans that instead of buying that new car, TV or computer go and buy health insurance. These could save untold amount of money for the US, bring us back from the brink of collapse.

As Mike Huckabee says "Lets bring common sense back to America" for it has been gone since Reagen left office.
