The Terminator

Without a qualm, or a thought to the people's lives he was affecting, Governor Schwarzenegger signed an order yesterday to reduce government employees salaries to the minimum wage of $6.55 an hour, (which could affect 200,000 people) because of the budget stalemate. Luckily, State Controller John Chiang, who writes the checks, is refusing to comply with the payroll cuts. (I think Chiang and Nancy Pelosi should get Government Employee of the Month award!)

But am I the only person who remembers this Arnold Schwarzenegger campaign mantra, "I understand business. I will make the economy and budget of California work."

Then, why doesn't he institute tax credits for the movie business and bring business back to California? The movie business, that funny business that was so lucrative and employed so many people. And that is supposed to be a business he does understand.
