I used to like Jerry Brown. He may have been flighty and seemed like an airhead (hence the nickname "Governor Moonbeam") but he did a good job as governor, or so I thought. Yes, he left office with a surplus. I thought that was a good thing, but what does it mean? It means the government was taking money out of your pocket and mine, money that it didn't need and wasn't even intending to spend. Wtf?
There should have been a tax cut, which is to say, the people should have got back the money that had been taken from them. But people didn't seem to miss it, and no one griped, so they kept the money and used it to jack up the allowed government expenses and size in the next year or so.
Meh. What started this rant was the name-calling he pulled in his debate earlier. Says it all, you know? He's a liberal, and like most liberals, he can't defend what he believes, nor support his beliefs with solid arguments. He becomes angry that this articulate woman has arguments that threaten his beliefs (since his politics and his beliefs are one) and since he cannot articulate bettre than to fling accusations, he starts calling her names. It is a truth universally acknowledged by liberals that a person in possession of conservative beliefs must be possessed by a devil. As demons, they deserve to be trashed so that no one will ever listen to their ideas.
