If the propositions fail and most Californians are seemingly going to vote "no" on them (according to polls), then I hope the state legislators will be forced to make even more budget cuts and spending cuts.

Even if the propositions passed, the state would still be in a major financial mess of $15 billion to $21 billion deficit.

The state's elected officials--like the rest of California's citizens--need to:
1) Live within your means.
2) Do your job.

We all have to live within a budget; so does the state. Our representatives were elected to make these tough decisions: quit trying to duck these decisions and do your job--balance the budget and cut spending.

Then I hope you lose your job along with my friends who will be losing their jobs when those spending cuts cut the programs they work for.

Thank you... Many who blindly call for cutting or eliminating government programs usually have no clue who it would hurt.

Social Services in this state have already been cut to the bone. With the dramatic increase in the client population that this recession has created, any further drastic cuts will make it nearly impossible for us to effectivly serve that community.

And sadly it will effect Social Services and Education before it ever effects something that impacts the politicians.
