Will The Politicians EVER Get It?

The obvious answer is NO - politicians will NEVER understand when the people want less of them, or, less of government - as is evidenced by the latest vote of the people of California.

Indeed, here's the positioning that the governor of California tried to scare the sheeple with: "Mr. Schwarzenegger is requesting a $6 billion loan from the federal government, and has proposed a variety of politically unpalatable cuts, including commuting prisoners’ sentences, taking away health insurance from some poor children, reducing aid to community colleges and eliminating a large chunk of financing for shelters that serve children and women who have been abused."

Amazing, isn't it? The government will never understand that the people want SMALLER - FEWER - GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES. This has nearly nothing to do with the services they provide - for once - the people would like to see government shrink. Politicians and the newspapers that are shrills for them like the NY Times will never get it. Indeed, look at this quote from the same article - and you tell me - is the NYT a cheerleader for the economy or what? "While California has suffered the same fate as much of the nation — high unemployment, large numbers of foreclosures, general economic sluggishness ..." All I can say is "oh really"?

Perhaps the NYT should look at the data of this article that puts California is the center of the nations mess - http://www.housingwire.com/2009/04/22/4-states-feel-highest-foreclosure-rates/.. The media cheerleading is beyond belief lately.
