Arnie Wants To Do To The Environment What He Did To The Economy

He would have liked to be known as an economics guru – but then California’s budget deficit just topped $25bn. He would have liked to be seen as a model of post-partisan politics – but then he admits that he has little or no sway over his fellow Republicans in Washington. That left an opening on the environment, at a time when Congress and international climate negotiations had both failed to deliver results – and Schwarzenegger says his whole life has been built on finding such openings.

    Arnies a thing of the past. And he’ll be seen as many things, just most of them aren’t all that desirable.

  2. Leon Brozyna says:

    Didn’t he popularize the expression, “Go east, young man!”

  3. peterhodges says:

    enron stole 12 billion dollars from california and arnie promised to kill the lawsuits trying to get it back

    all i have to say is i didn’t vote for him

  4. Lazarus says:

    Not sure where you get your 25bn from as the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities has it at only 17.5bn. (Note: California, has not completed its FY11 budget).

    46 states have faced budget shortfall this year so California is hardly alone.

    And as a percentage of budget there are about a dozen that have done worse.

      Hi Lazarus

      This was what the Guardian reported :-

      “It’s very nearly a wrap for Arnold Schwarzenegger, whose career as governor of California will come sputtering to an end in January with his approval rating in the 20s, the state budget shortfall at $25bn (£16bn), and unemployment at nearly 13%. But, like the action heroes he has so often played, the man they called the governator is already working on a comeback.”

      • Lazarus says:

        Perhaps that is what is forecast, unless the web site I linked to is out of date. Either way California’s deficit is not the worst by any means.

  5. Mike Davis says:

    Arnie is a RHINO that married into the Kennedy dynasty. Every thing he does has a liberal stamp on it.
