re: #284 Political Atheist

No. But… So? That’s all well beside the point I made. This is not about GOP behavior, or the last few years. The recession was in charge of fiscal policy there for a couple years.

It’s about who has been in charge in the legislature by any fair measure and for how long. Like since 1970. Current GOP misbehavior has nothing to do with anything until well, recently.

My basic contention is that up until very recently, the GOP has held a minority veto relating to budget and taxation issues. That has screwed things up relating to budget and taxation in CA for decades, despite the fact that the Dems held a legislative majority for just about all years since 1970.

Thus, pointing out that the Dems have held the state legislature for decades is rather irrelevant does not give the Dems 100% ownership for budget and taxation issues.
