Well, the recall election is over. What a strange process and outcome. Ahnuld wins in a “landslide” with no real platform or answer to our economic problems. It was so strange to watch the Republicans bash Gray Davis for turning a surplus into a deficit. They should really be looking at their own glass houses before throwing those stones. President Bush, one of their own, did exactly the same thing, only on a much grander scale. Does that make it more admirable? California at least has laws the prevent the state from amassing too much debt. The federal government can borrow, borrow, borrow forever. Who cares about the national debt?
