California in Crisis

California's beloved Govenor Arnold Schwarzenegger explains to the NBC TODAY Show about how California will be able to make severe budget cuts.


My Proposal: My proposal is solely based on the reports of this single news source above.

Why doesn't California have a statewide bake sale or better yet, a fundraiser! Certainly, state employees can go around selling magazines or giant sized candy bars door-to-door. The Govenator doesn't really explain how the whole "Full Circle" concept will work if money is taken away from the city governments then how do they get it back.

But wait, it doesn't stop there. Celebrities living in California could certainly contribute. Maybe they can sell some of their stuff at auction to star-crazed fans or the paparazzi. Then the proceeds can go to helping out the state government in which they live.

I think that the most alarming budget cut would be the prison systems. Just because the Californian government has issues keeping track of their money doesn't mean that criminals that have been put away should be released. So we'll see what happens in the near future.

Govenor Schwarzenegger describes the process of budget cutting in front of the press in this video link. Definitely worth watching. Kinda makes me wondering which direction the wheels are spinning in that big noggin of his while he is trying to describe what he will do. Also, he tries to crack a few jokes!
