Texas for it's size is deep in the red, so are many other states...California has a huge ecomomy the world's fifth largest economy, so when were in the red it's a lot...but nowhere even close to where Bush deficit is in the US.
Enron bled our state for billions and billions of dollars and when Davis asked Cheney and the Federal government to put a cap on what Enron could charge...Bush, Cheney and the boys told Davis to fuck off, they knew Davis would end up taking the heat and they had a good laugh.
The huge dot.com bust hurt California harder than anywhere else...that was not Davis's fault.
The wars in Afghanistan & Iraq has taken it's toll on California, as Bush tells us there's no money left for the states, it's needed for the war on terrorism.
The huge tax cuts by Bush didn't help all states lost revenue, Californis with it's large industrial base, the tax cuts was a huge blow.
And to top it off in the past two and a half years, we are in a Bush recession...it's had to balance the budget during a recession, especially after the wealth and prosperity all state enjoyed during the eight Clinton years.
The White House was behind this recall...in the shadows...and they didn't like the outcome of Democrat Davis winning by 5 1/2 points just last November when the people elected Davis.
So the Republicans have the money to change the election and pay for a recall...They want a Republican Governor for Bush to win CA in 2004 so he can win by a landslide and call it a mandate to do as he chooses.
