Reply #110: Schwarzenegger ran on the promise he would cut the waste, [View All]

[JDPriestly]

and when he got into office, he couldn't find enough waste to cut to make much of a difference.

The deal about waste is just campaign rhetoric. The waste in this country is in the private sector -- namely in the CEO salaries. And that nonsense about private companies needing to pay those salaries to keep the CEOs on board is nonsense. Those same CEOs love to run for public office where the pay isn't a thousandth of what they earn in the private sector.
