Calif. voters reject budget measures - Washington Times: "LOS ANGELES (AP) California's voters on Tuesday rejected a complex slate of ballot propositions designed to keep the state from sliding further toward fiscal calamity.
The only measure they approved in a statewide special election was Proposition 1F, which will prohibit raises to lawmakers and other state elected officials during deficit years."
The mainstream media and the California politicians are, of course, trashing the referendum process as flawed. "These votes expose the irrational tendency of democracy. Voters want the services, they just don't want to pay for them," goes the reasoning. Well, actually, "no." It's the entrenched liberal Democrat politicians in the California legislature that want the spending. They are supposed to represent the people, but they don't. I am sure that a huge percentage of the spedning in California would not be upheld if it were held up to referendum on a line-item basis.
As California goes, so goes Obamanation.
