Quite a few renters and homeowners were in a state of shock when they opened their mail boxes this past week and found a curt letter from Sacramento informing them that they would not receive a check for their annual tax break.
According to the communication, Governor Schwarzenegger axed those funds from the State budget for the 2008-2009 fiscal year ahead.
Homeowners and renters are outraged!
Many were counting on those funds to get them through a financial crisis that has been gaining momentum and negatively impacting citizens around the globe.
Unlike George Bush (for once, I say "bless him") who sought an emergency rebate for taxpayers around the country earlier this year, Schwarzenegger essentially thumbed his nose at California voters.
"Let them eat cake," appeared to be his response when he signed the budget into effect last week.
Notwithstanding, many Californians are shaking their heads over the costly waste of Government resource arising from the Governator's refusal to sign into Law a handful of "bills" that were presented to his office last week.
A handful of the measures wormed their way through various levels of government - at which point - they were approved by the Senate.
The whole process was a costly venture footed by the taxpayers of this great state.
In view of the fact a handful of the bills were worthy of his signature, it boggles the mind to think that at a time when fiscal responsibility is of paramount importance in the Government sector, he chose to veto the measures.
All that moolah down the drain!
I was going to jokingly point out that I hoped Arnold's di** was bigger than his brain - for his and Maria's sake - but a glance at the photo above says it all in my estimation.
For the record, informed sources tell me, he's not even a "grower".
Now that he is naked to the world, I think it is high time the voting public sent the dope-smoking cigar-wielding jar-head back to Austria.
Let him yodel, and beat his sagging chest, somewhere else!
Don't Bogart that joint, Arnold...
