"Governor" Schwarzenegger, Please Resign!

We had such high hopes for you. You were never a true conservative, I know, but you were talking the talk when it came to taxes and spending. Your campaign for Governor was full of promise... but what have you done to us? You have aided and abetted the State Legislature in spending us into oblivion and raising our taxes -- looks like mine will go up by over $1,000 - maybe YOU can afford that, but I cannot! YOU HAVE BROKEN YOUR PROMISES, you have been a WORSE governor than Gray Davis! You are a long way from being a super hero... what a disappointment you are. You are not worthy of the title of "Governor" That title is for someone who manages his stewardship wisely, you have not. You have been weak, you have given into every special interest, now leaving the truly needy (handicapped and children) with fewer resources because of your weakness. Shame on you.

TownHall.com laid out the case against you:

-- California’s state expenditures grew from $104 billion in 2003 to $145 billion in 2008.

-- California has the worst credit rating in the nation.

-- California has the fourth highest unemployment rate in the nation, 9.3 percent -- higher even than the car manufacturing state of Michigan.

-- California has the second highest home foreclosure rate.

-- California’s tax-paying middle class is leaving the state. California’s net loss last year in state-to-state migration exceeded every other state's. New York, another left-run state, was second.

-- Since 2000, California’s job growth rate -- which in the late 1970s was many times higher than the national average -- has lagged behind the national average by almost 20 percent.

-- California has lost 25 percent of its industrial work force since 2001.

California State Controller - Out of Touch

OK, most people don't even know who the CA State controller is, never mind what his job is. Well, let me tell you.

His name is John Chiang, a Democrat, elected to this office for a four year term. Mr. Chiang describes his duties on his official website as:

• Account for and control disbursement of all state funds.
• Determine legality and accuracy of every claim against the State.
• Issue warrants in payment of the State’s bills including lottery prizes.
• Administer the Uniform State Payroll System.
• Audit and process all personnel and payroll transactions for state civil service; exempt employees; state university and college system employees.
• Responsible for auditing various state and local government programs.
• Inform the public of the State’s financial condition.
• Administer the Unclaimed Property Law.
• Inform the public of financial transactions of city, county and district governments.
• Administer Property Tax Postponement Program.

So where you you Mr. Chiang when the State's finances were crashing? Did we see you on T.V. informing us? Have we seen you since rooting out excess spending? Have we heard you exposing waste? I certianly have not.

Now, to add insult to injury, during a time when taxpayers are NOT getting their refunds, he is spending millions to renovate his offices. Don't take my word for it, view the video below:
