I am almost beside myself as I listen to Jerry Brown and his cadre of progressive socialist democrats once again promise Californians that they can be trusted to curb government fraud, waste, and abuse …

Democrat after democrat, even those involved in scandals, claim that they are the best qualified to govern our formerly golden state. A state that has never wanted to fiscal funding do to abundant natural resources, a seemingly never-ending supply of individuals and companies who want to relocate to California, and the enormous wealth created by a very healthy Silicon Valley. And, with each dollar that arrives in California’s treasury, it appears that some politician wants to use it to purchase votes by extending social welfare programs that are a magnet for the indigent, illiterate, and illegal. No other state seems to flout its own state constitution, laws, rules and regulations – not to mention federal laws – to welcome illegal aliens who have grown the public employee and union-dominated poverty industry, crime industry, and educational industry. Where public employee unions have so thoroughly corrupted California politics, that the state and its municipalities are virtually in bondage and struggling to fund ever-growing pension funds.

How many elected officials, especially progressive socialist democrats, have demanded that we audit public pensions – where vacation time earned at year one is paid-off like it was earned at year thirty; where public employees can purchase additional pension seniority by adding a clause to their contracts; where kiss-off pension bumps mean that employees are bumped-up to the next position as an undeserved bonus; and where double- and triple-dipping is common. Where pensioned employees earn an additional pension or do exactly the same work they did before as a highly-paid consultant.

Enough with the political class that does not have to suffer any economic downturn and whose future is guaranteed with a defined benefit pension rather than the 401-K pensions available in the private sector.

And then these is the asswipe Jerry Brown, who wants people shoved into Moscow-like high-rises and using mass transit. The man who wants to build the crazy-train to nowhere anyone wants to go. A trillion dollar effort that benefits nobody but the unions and special interests. A high-speed rail system that will never be high-speed.

Corruption. Chaos. Criminality.

I would rather vote for convicted killer Charles Manson rather than Jerry Brown. The damage cause by crazy Manson would be less than the damage caused by crazy Brown.

Enough with these progressive socialist democrats. They fucked-up our state for decades and now they want us to believe they have the solution. Offering us Obamacare and to stop global warming in return for political power.

Bottom line …

These progressive socialist democrats cannot cure corruption because they cause corruption!
