No Lesson Learned

It finally had to happen. After months of uncertainty the truth has finally hit fan. There is no more mystery in California Governor Jerry Brown’s strings are firmly being pulled by government employee unions there is in Sacramento. The many unions are clearly calling the shots, and that bodes poorly for California’s economic recovery and the rescue of the badly run and dysfunctional school systems in the state.
It is the second time around as governor for Jerry Brown. The voters learned no lessons from his first time around. It is truly a sad situation. The voters trusted J. B. and believed he would break the union shackles, rescue the state from dire economic straits, and help repair the dysfunctional school system that plagues the state. All of this has been going on for a long, and nothing good is going to happen soon. J. B. is much older but not at all any wiser.
When J. B. signed into law Senate Bill 202 recently, that is all the voters of California needed to know. It was the same old J. B. SB 202 is the poster child for legislative abuses. J. B. could have vetoed that monstrosity. Instead, he is once again tied to the apron strings of government employee unions, and the door is still wide open to higher taxes, a stagnated state economy, businesses leaving the state in large numbers, and the continued dysfunction of state schools as more good tax money is thrown after badly used tax money.
The California voters got badly tricked by J. B. because they did not learn any lessons from past experience. And the lesson is this: Anyone now who believes anything any politician says anymore during campaigning needs a thorough head examination. Jerry Brown (President B. Obama, also) is doing a 180° from campaign and promises and is assuring voters the game is surely over. The current behavior of what is going on makes it a no-brainer.
