Hypothetical Schwarzenneger question

[Hobo Renee]

"I voted for McClintock, so this may sound somewhat surprising, but Arnold has had an extremely beneficial impact on California."

Uh not really. McClintock was the partyline following Republican candidate so it doesn't surprise me at all that you like what Arnold has been doing.

"Balanced our budget without federal assistance."

More like made severe cuts in the budget to balance it and take funds away from the counties, the handicapped, and public education.

"Killed the car tax."

The was going to happen eventually without Arnold being elected. It would have at least gone to the November ballot.

"Revoked liscences for non-legalized uitlanders"

I'm still not sure on how I feel about this. I think that identification of illegals is a good thing, but I don't agree that the licenses should look the same as normal ones. I have no idea what is going to happen with this issue.

Anyway, I don't really think that Arnold has done anything special or beneficial for the state. I do know that his education cuts posponed a friend of mine into getting into a state university until they could find more money and finally offer her admission which caused her and her family a lot of grief for months. But, since I'm leaving the state all I really have to say is "hasta la vista ahhh-nold."
