This election season has seen more than its share of voter pandering and false advertizing. My vote for the winner of sleaze in that department are the proponents of California’s Proposition 25. I was again reminded of this as we watched the last game of the World Series this evening. The ads promoting this proposition mention only that California legislators late in passing a budget will not get paid until they pass one and send it to the governor for signature. It makes a big deal of ‘We’re gonna dock their pay until they deliver.’ That sounds real good to the mildly informed and frustrated voter.
But the sleazebags are really out there to stick to all of us, and counting on the ignorant and uninformed to help them do it. The pay docking is a smoke screen for the real intent of Prop25 which is to pass a constitutional amendment that reduces the requirement for passing a budget – which may mandate (but not include) all kinds of tax and fee increases – to be reduced from a two-thirds majority to a simple majority. Is this not really government promoted constructive voter fraud?
This, of course, will let the leftwing progressives go beyond the pale with their tax and spend policies and will put in place a Peter/Paul Principle on steroids. I don’t know what we could do to make the state sink faster than defeat Prop23 and pass Prop25. We are determined to federalize California.
Exit question – What comes after bankrupt?
