The end results of neo-Conservatism

Craig T. Nelson, a "fiscally responsible grandfather," he's not going to pay taxes or "fund things he refuses to fund."

Nelson is complaining that, because voters in California refused - via the polls - to fund California's (admittedly broken) budget, Gov. Schwarzenegger is now having to make historic cuts. (See below video for story).

Nelson rightly complains that education and firefighters are being cut. But then, so how is not paying taxes gonna fix that?

Further lamenting lack of responsibility, he says "I've been on food stamps and welfare, did anybody help me out? No. No. They gave me hope, they gave me encouragement, and they gave me a vision."

JESUS H. CHRIST IN A SIDECAR!!!! YES THEY HELPED YOU OUT, DUMBASS! "They" "help you out" with WELFARE AND FOOD STAMPS?

You know, "food stamps and welfare" the shit that Cali is going to cut because a bunch of rich Republicans bankrupted the system and then Cali voters said 'screw social services'.

Do you not get -- I...but...but -- are you unclear on the concept of -- am I? Are you? Is this supposed...what? Really? Huh?

AAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And hither comes the New York Times with this wonderful news of impending social apocalypse with coach finds so abhorrent that he's going to perpetuate it by not paying taxes.

In a special election on May 19, voters rejected a batch of measures on increasing taxes, borrowing funds and reapportioning state money that were designed to close a multibillion-dollar budget gap. The cuts Mr. Schwarzenegger has proposed to make up the difference, if enacted by the Legislature, would turn California into a place that in some ways would be unrecognizable in modern America: poor children would have no health insurance, prisoners would be released by the thousands and state parks would be closed.
...
Mr. Schwarzenegger, a Republican, is threatening to eliminate the Healthy Family Program, the state’s health insurance program that covers over 900,000 children and is financed with state and federal money, as well as the state’s main welfare program, known as Cal-Works, which provides temporary financial assistance to poor families and a caregiver for the severely disabled.
The $1 billion in cuts to programs for the poor would be met with $680 million in new cuts to education and a 5 percent salary reduction for state employees, many of whom are already enduring furloughs.
...
With the cuts to Medicaid, the state would probably increase its number of uninsured people by nearly 2 million, the California Budget Project says.

California, America... welcome to consequences.

And who gets hurt? Not the greedy bastards who did this. No, they'll be fine.

As Bob Cesca puts it: "When will the Right to Life people descend on California to make sure all of those 4th-through-48th trimester children survive?"
