“This administration is populated by people who’ve spent their careers bashing government. They’re not just small-government conservatives—they’re Grover Norquist, strangle-it-in-the-bathtub conservatives. It’s a cognitive disconnect for them to be able to do something well in an arena that they have so derided and reviled all these years.”

Saving money on the backs of the fallen

So Arnold's plan to privatize the state's pension fund will also end death and disability benefits for public safety officers hired after June 2007.

Arnold's making enemies in the state faster than friends. He's fallen from a GOP golden child to one who may be politically vulnerable come 2006, a position no one expected as he spoke to the RNC and called those out of work or fearful of their finances "economic girly men."

I wonder why folks out here are beginning to feel he's out of touch with their concerns?
