Modoc County CA; Your Hypocrisy is Unbecoming of a True Conservative & the Truths about California’s Budget Woes Revealed:
By Marc Chamot

Is it all hypocrisy or just plain stupidity?

Modoc County California is a prime example on how to be a hypocritical conservative. And the real truths about California’s budget woes revealed!

First, a great article came out in the San Francisco Chronicle a few days ago. It tells about California’s most conservative, and the highest registered Republican county in the state, who don’t believe in paying higher taxes, and in the financing of welfare programs except their OWN. They are getting one of the largest taxpayer financed bailouts in the state. Wow!

State's most conservative county uses much cash

“Modoc has the highest Republican registration of any county in California, it unfailingly elects anti-tax Republicans to office, and the vote here against last month's ballot measure that would have raised a variety of taxes was one of the most lopsided in the state. And yet, per capita, Modoc County gets more state taxpayer dollars than all but one of California's 58 counties.

The prevailing attitude among the right-wing ranchers and modern hippies who define Modoc County is of fierce self-reliance - but more people here than just about anywhere else depend on welfare checks of some kind to get by.
So with state Republicans blocking new taxes and insisting on deep cuts in taxpayer-funded services, does that make this most solid of GOP bases politically conflicted, or worse, just plain ignorant?

"I don't think voters in the conservative counties understand the connection between the service they are receiving and the votes their representatives are making," Evans said. "Maybe the layers of government are so convoluted that many people don't realize how it works."

Assemblyman Jim Nielsen, R-Gerber (Tehama County), vice chairman of the Assembly budget committee, represents Modoc County. He said cutting social services is not what he has in mind when he talks about deficit reduction - it's chopping other things, such as regulatory oversight committees and government employees.”

And then we’ve got Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger who finally came out with the "truths" for once.

And state workers don't like this one bit!

The real reason that California cannot get their budget settled, and retire their $26.3 billion dollars deficits, it’s because of California Democrats, and their love affairs with their state employees and their unions.

It’s absolutely true folks! California employees and their unions are tied in so deep with their Democrat politicians, it would be suicide for any Democrat to go against their powerfully connected and well financed base.

Democrats have resisted every effort to cut and trim state employees’ hefty salaries, their costly medical costs and retirement benefits. But they are after everyone else's moneys, including raising taxes.

Schwarzenegger: “protecting the special interests who benefit from our dysfunctional system was more important to them than solving our deficit, it steps on the TURF of the people they want to protect.” i.e. money and votes?

With the state being plagued by dwindling real estate values, large business closures, faced with 34% drop in personal tax revenues, and laced with higher unemployment, it’s just asinine to be keeping these high paid state employees, and with their beyond to affordable benefits for any much longer.

Even though Arnold Schwarzenegger is absolutely correct on Democrats, he also needs to be put to shame; he absolutely, and unequivocally supports $5 billion dollars yearly in taxpayer financed support for ALL California’s illegal aliens, just as these Democrats do.

Some screwed up people in a screwed up state, isn’t California just swelling? Wow!
