When Buffet was announced, that lowered my support for Arnold. Buffet, liberal, anti-dividen tax cut (this coming from a supposed businessman), anti-any Bush tax cut, anti-Prop. 13 (says we are not paying enough. For god sakes, we may have the lowest property taxes in the nation, but we have one of the HIGHEST taxes elsewhere [income tax, sale tax, etc.). Of coarse Buffet doesn\'t care...he is already a BILLIONARE. :rolleyes:
However, in defense of Arnold, it appears that Buffet has, at the very least, been rebuked by Arnold who, through a spokesperson, been in support of Prop. 13. Doesn\'t mean that I fully trust Arnold at the moment, but it did give some hope that Arnold really is a "fiscal conservative" despite the fact that he wants to fund all these social policies.
Which BTW, his after school program? Turns out, this will NOT get funding if the state does not have a surplus. Since the state is in a deficit, this will not be funded. So, while he is no conservative, at least he has some economic sense that is DEFINETLY lacking in Sacramento.
