what? The state didn't have enough money to pay their teachers - both
times! - and Christmas was coming up.

We still have people pulling the Federal government three different
directions. Alabama still thinks federal supremacy has not been
established.

California's now working on joining Alabama.

California is headed third world. The very rich and their servants.

The first thing the Aircraft Certification Office said to Knutson when he
went to get our TSOAs was how glad they are that Skylight did not leave
California. So many airplane related companies have left California that
the ACO is having trouble tracking them. FAA is going to require 6 month
"minor modification" reports, so they can find out where the 21.303
companies have fled to.

If the recall fails California may as well be flushed. Consider, when Davis
came to power California was the world's 5th largest economy and with the
Clinton bubble, California moved to the fourth largest economy, by last
Febuary California had fallen to 7th place. The State is in free fall and
the Silicon Valley may just be made into a park.

Walt, that's a specious argument.

We haven't had a constitutional government in the US since 1865.

Pointing to the failures of a "less socialist state" among "more socialist
states" doesn't say much.

There are those who see the enforcement of the thirteenth amendment as a
good thing. The forteenth amendmend somehow seems to apply to all but the
second amendment.

Global competitiveness tends to put the lie to your interpretation, Steve.
The exidus of businesses from California is moving at an alarming rate.

Senator Joe Biden on C-SPAN September 11th pointed out that if the top
1% of the taxpayers in the USA didn't take Bush's tax cut this year
the extra money paid into the Treasury in this single year by the top
1% would cover the 87 Billion Bush has just asked for. FWIW the bottom
I say again bottom ranking income in that 1% rank is a cool 675,000
bucks. He just squeaked in, I guess. Senator Biden promised he will
introduce a bill into the Senate to effect such an action.

If they would just collect the taxes from people who haven't paid taxes
for the last 5 years, we could fund 10 wars.

The Democratic answer to taxes, is that we need to spend it, and not
let the "we the people" have it. It is also a federalist agenda, where
states can just go to hell.

....as opposed to what appears to be the current Republican thinking of
"just spend it. We don't need no stinking taxes."

Hmmm . . . better yet, if Walt and his buddy "Plagiarism Joe" just
agreed to
remove all of the unconstitutional, illegal, adn extra-constitutional
stuff
out of the budget, we could pay for 6 of those wars a year.

Which is what exactly?

Constitutional entities are Mail, House, Senate, Executive, Military and
Mint; all the Executive Cabinet activities are extra Constitutional.

Bushwah! Non sequitur.

If "Executive" is a "constitutional entity", how do you conclude that
the cabinet activities (which you yourself call "executive cabinet") are
"extra constitutional" (as if that phrase actually means something)?

You've had this 'splained to you in words of one syllable (or less) before.

Your stubborn insistence in parroting this line of specious crap marks you
as an asshole of great magnitude.

Michael

No, it is a direct and accurate answer to Tim.

If "Executive" is a "constitutional entity", how do you conclude that
the cabinet activities (which you yourself call "executive cabinet") are
"extra constitutional" (as if that phrase actually means something)?

All cabinet level activities are Congressional authority granted to the
Executive, none of which are in the Constitution.

No.

You are projecting, Houghton, as well as ignorant.
