Arnold leads the way

"Never again will government be allowed to spend money it doesn't have." (I don't have a permanent link yet)

It'd be nice if all of government was like that. Way to go Arnold for showing the way. Now let's see if he actually does it.

And the Washington Post, biased as usual, has the headline: Schwarzenegger Seeks to Raise Debt.

And in other news, Dennis Kucinich, always good for a laugh, shows a pie chart on radio.

He's proposing selling a 15 billion dollar bond, right? That's basically taking a 15 billion dollar loan. How is that not raising the debt? If I want to pay off my credit card bills by taking out a loan for their full value, did I absolve my debt?

Arnold has a great future as a debt-consolidation spokesman, but how he does as governor seems to still be open.

George, I wasn't saying the headline wasn't accurate, but I definitely think it was biased. Instead of "Arnold to take 15 billion dollar bond", or "Arnold says NO to irresponsible government spending", or "Arnold fights for balanced-budget", it's "Arnold to increase debt".
