“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.”

Spending money with Arnold

I think I mentioned this one before, but whoever ends up opposing Arnold's proposed bond money should have a fairly easy time culling quotes from his latest campaign to pass Prop 76 about how bankrupt the state is and the financial problems it will encounter if it fails to pass.

The question is, who is going to try and prevent a $50 billion dollar bond for funding public services and infrastructure, even if it could be deadly to the state's finances?

And as a follow up, why would we believe anything Arnold tries to sell if he goes from zero to spending in a matter of weeks?
