I didn't know you wanted me to respond to that. I must say that so far I have been very pleased with Arnold's efforts. I think the cuts could have been deeper but so far so good. It looks like finally someone is going to force that state to watch their spending. I still think that education budget looks high. But maybe not, I don't know. If I were Arnold, I would go through another round of cuts next year, kind of like a tough love measure then slowly increase spending in only much needed areas.
