Re: California finally passed a budget, complete with $14B in new taxes.
And it's all Obama's fault, right...? Well, it must be, since CA's Republican governor certainly wouldn't share any responsibility on the matter.
Re: Whatever tax break Obama gives middle-class Californians will be quickly eaten up by the extra percentage point in state sales tax, among other things.
Plenty of other states don't have the size of problem that CA has in balancing a budget. But that doesn't have anything to do with the ARRA bill, and you know it.
