Not one freakin' red cent


Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has proposed a temporary, one-cent increase in the state sales tax along with long-term budget reforms in an effort to break the stalemate in budget negotiations that have been stalled for more than a month, legislative sources close to the talks said Monday. ...



Lawmakers reacted to the governor's proposal along party lines. Democrats said they were encouraged by it, while Republicans said they cannot support the tax increase.

Republicans. Of course. Hey, pay an extra penny, might wind up benefitting one of, you know, those people. What's new?


Some are born jerks, some achieve jerkitude ...
