California's head-up-ass State Government decides to drill to balance their budget. Large cuts to health programs...what, don't they understand that health care can be paid for by simply printing new monies?

Schwarzenegger's initial proposal to eliminate health and welfare programs outright was rebuffed by Democrats, but those programs - In Home Support Services, CalWorks and Healthy Families - face deep cuts as well.

The deal also includes Schwarzenegger's earlier proposal that would allow offshore oil drilling near Vandenberg Air Force Base, about 6 miles from the Santa Barbara County shoreline, generating about $100 million a year in new royalties for the state.

I told 'em so.

Oh, and ScribeFire, blow me.
