Companies routinely manage to cut their payrolls when their revenues
decline. Are we really supposed to believe that all 200,000 affected
state workers are essential? Would severance costs be so high, and the
cuts in services so drastic, that California taxpayers would object?
There will certainly be interest groups which oppose any program cuts in
their favored areas, but if taxpayers aren't willing to pay for the
services, then they aren't really essential at this time even if
somebody thought they were a good idea at some time in the past when the
state economy was healthier.

Calif. gov candidates come from different worlds - The fawning
sycophants in the liberal media won't even seriously pretend to be
unbiased in this race. Luckily, Californians are now so networked
now that they don't really need to rely on the lamestream media.

The purpose of these tools is to make it easier
for conservatives to find what their elected officials, political peer
groups, and commentators are saying and doing on topics of interest to them
at the time.
This will be similar to the Search: Americas
tools created at
www.ShortListNews.com , which make it easy to search across many
economic development or chamber of commerce websites, such as to find timely
information about the local business investment climate as shared by these
promotional groups. There are also more comprehensive state economic
development directories at
www.gdi-solutions.com
There are also similar search tools for research across
the websites of many
professional
services related to capital investment projects which create or save
jobs in new or existing business locations.

inclusion of any website links on this site does not reflect any endorsement
