Don't get too giddy. He still wants to tax the hell out of the people and businesses in the state. He also wants to stupidly put money "aside" for a "rainy day" when it's pouring on him now. He merely doesn't want to spend the money as quickly as do the rest of the D's. So, not exactly what I'd call "fiscally responsible." Just not as irresponsible as his cohorts.

It never struck me that Linda might have dabbled in that stuff--maybe it's the angelic face. So I guess it wasn't too surprising that she did as told in her first cover story for Rolling Stone:

"On the road to Bakersfield, Ronstadt talked some more about drugs. She has taken just about every drug around, she said in answer to a question. But she's given up almost every one. Grass once made her hands swell, she said. Cocaine made her "feel terrible. And I also can't take opiates." Nor can she drink. A steady diet of gin, she said, made her dizzy and she thought she had vertigo. Other drinks gave her skin rashes. She tried heroin "once or twice, but it's not for me." She can take speed and declared Methedrine her only remaining vice. "But it makes me sneeze too much."

from a posting somewhere.

Before she had too many drugs. She was the prototype for Whitney Houston.

Not as complete a moron does not equal "smart." He wants to put aside money now for a rainy day fund, but Calif still has multiple billions in debts to pay off which is causing the bad credit rating.
