Dictator Arnold

[Ghoulish Delight]

So the November special election in California is happening. I won't even get into that, let's just focus on what's on this stupid ballot.

2 of the items particularly come to mind.

1) The budget prop. "Either pass my budget, or I'll declare my budget passed." Nice. So much for any bipartisan compromise. "Oh, the minority want's compromise or they won't vote for the budget? Okay, we'll just wait them out and let the dictator make it so."

2) Preventing unions from spending money for political purposes unless they get specific member approval. My dad said it best. "I'll happily vote for that. Once it includes a rule that says publically traded businesses must have the same restriction until their stockholders vote for approval." Otherwise, it's "screw the workers, but business lobbies have all the leeway they want."
