Whitman plummets in poll as public pummels politicians in Sacramento
Disapproval of Sacramento politicians at record highs
The 2010 election comes in a year in which voter disapproval of state politicians is higher than ever. 23 percent of adults surveyed in the poll — a record low — approve of Schwarzenegger’s performance as governor, while 65 percent — a record high — disapprove.
And while the state legislature’s approval ratings recovered slightly from a record low in March, they’re nothing to gloat about either — only 16 percent of adults approve of the legislature’s performance, while 72 percent disapprove. Likely voters are even more likely to disapprove than the population at large, with 80 percent disapproving of the legislature’s performance.
Voters’ expectations for cooperation between the governor and legislature to solve problems such as the state’s continuing budget crisis are also at all-time lows — only 19 percent of adults expect the governor and legislature to “work together and accomplish a lot this year,” as opposed to 73 percent who expect otherwise.
Who would have ever thought that business as usual (for politicians this means bribery, corruption, infighting, raising taxes, reprehensible legislation that harms the citizens, ...) would cause citizens to fear and hate all politicians. Obviously not politicians, or they might change their ways. But law abiding citizens capable of learning and change are NOT the kind of people who run for political office or seek to work for the government.
So what does the state of California have to look forward to?
As a sanctuary state for indigents and criminals, we can look forward to more indigents and criminals moving to California. As the indigents and criminals move in, the employers and employees will move out of the state. As the indigents and criminals move in, we can look forward to higher welfare and other benefit payments for non-workers.
As California continues spending more than it can loot and pillage from the remaining employers and employees, we can look forward to bankruptcy, and discontinuation of services that are critical to survival of our society. As California continues spending more than it can loot and pillage from the remaining employers and employees, we can look forward to employers and employees moving out of state. As the state of California increases taxes to make up for the lower collections, even more employers and employees will move out of state.
We already are seeing that one of the ways the politicians have figured out to save money is to release violent felons early. This again encourages criminals to move into California, and law abiding citizens to flee the state.
Another way the hypocritical politicians are looking at saving money is starting an economic war with states (Arizona, maybe others in the future) that prefer to go down fighting rather than looking for one last spending splurge. Please note that the Los Angeles City Council has NOT decided to stop the wasteful junkets to other cities around the country to hold meetings, they are only moving their wasteful junkets to other vacation cities around the country.
Net savings or benefits to the City of Los Angeles for their reprehensible actions? Nothing.
Downside? The contempt from 70% of the legal population of the United States, and possible boycotts of California from the 70% of the population and other states contemplating ways to save their states from the onslaught of alien invaders.
Yup. Career politicians are doing a job. Unfortunately, it is NOT the job the politicians lied to get and it is NOT the job that voters thought the politicians would do once elected.
