Um…. Thanks for exemplifying my point about “it can’t affect me”.
I’m not trying to pick on you, so sorry if it comes across this way…You might want to revisit history about the last time CA had a budget crisis, and what happened to Junior Colleges and UC schools in terms of funding, grants, etc. I hope you aren’t affected by Arnold’s proposals.
Believe me I know all about the budget cuts, which are actually less than are what are being advertised if you the read the fine print.
This goes back to my theory that this is a lot of puffery from the Governator prior to pushing for a tax hike.
Anyway, go back and read that article you posted. We can easily make up budget shortfalls by raising student fees and cutting admissions.

January 31, 2008 at 7:55 AM #145892TheBreezeParticipantSeveral weeks back myself and my engineering staff were laid off …
Kewp – Besides my job job I have 3 small businesses.
SD R,
Am I supposed to feel sorry for you and your ilk or marvel at what a masterful entrepreneur you are? Good grief. Either just break down and cry or assert your capitalistic dominance. Trying to do both in one post is a bit much.
Oh, and I’m supposed to feel sorry for laid off engineers? Did these laid-off engineers save during the good times or did they go in debt for million dollar homes and hummers? Are they now walking away from their obligations? I know some engineers and their salaries are usually pretty darn good. If they save during the good times, they’ll be fine during the down times.
I find it difficult to feel sorry for American citizens ever. There’s tons of opportunity in this country if people are just willing to sacrifice a bit. Most don’t though. And then they whine about how cruel and unfair the world is. Waaah.

January 31, 2008 at 7:56 AM #145897barnaby33ParticipantSD Realtor, at least you have the right level of fear for whats coming, a slowly moving tsunami. Now imagine the backlash of anger that fear generates and you’ve got the proper context for a lot of the glee filled, “bring it on,” postings you and FLU are pointing out.
I’ve only lived through one recession as an adult. I’m 33. I have however lived through the 90’s recession as a cognizant teenager. More importantly my father will be 87 in two months. Thats right a child of The Depression. Not a recession, “The Depression.” You know when kids went to school with lard sandwiches. The anger I feel and probably others feel as well is that it was all preventable.
I’m torn. I know the suffering has to happen to clean out the underbrush, I know I will be affected by it. That creates internal conflict which often makes me seem to others as cheering on the coming tsunami. I don’t and I’d wager that if you talked face to face with most of the others who appear to cheer they don’t either.
This post isn’t nearly as cathartic as I’d hoped it would be.
