It's really simple, take the "illegal" out of the immigration and instead of just giving people money to spend to stimulate the economy, put them to work on public works projects like in the 30s.

This guy did too much nose candy back in the day. He's delirious and suffering from delusions of grandeur.

Reads like a last minute column to meet a deadline. A few billion in a 24 billion problem sure sounds like a significant amount to me, say 15-20%, not a bad start. I thought the governor was a joke when first elected, but my image of him now that he has centered himself respectably is very high, and would vote for him. California is one of the highest taxing states in the country and has hidden taxes in the form of no break at all for capital gains which is huge. The real issue here Jerry is something that you don't want to seem to address, that of illegal immigration and its huge cash drain on our schools and budget. It is absolutely ridiculous that our schools are focusing their resources on ESL kids to raise testing levels and cutting the budget on GATE and other gifted kids and cutting out arts and music. What a joke. If this souunds a bit angry, it is. I am really tired of paying for "Illegal" immigrants that send their money back home and have no pride or respect for our country. And by the way, I am far from a right winger, just really fed up and your column doesn't address the real issues here, not even close. You'd rather point your finger at the governor and offer political, rather than substantial solutions to the issue.

On No Exit for California

How far is the walk once you park?
