A Consummate Politician

"Ahnold" Speaks

Actually, a "consummate LIBERAL politician." Arnold Schwarzenegger ran for governor of California as a conservative, but has governed increasingly as a liberal. This last suggestion of his is VERY liberal. You know: the one where the state STEALS money from the lottery fund (which is "dedicated" money that the lottery buyers were told would be used for ONE purpose). Since it is "fungible," taxpayers don't know that states are reducing the budgets for the designated recipients of lottery money by the same, or a larger amount than they receive from the lottery. But what "Ahnold" is suggesting is pure thievery from a fund that has already been stolen by political "sleight-of-hand." (Sacramento Bee)
