Arizona's Coming Government Collapse - from Governor Jan Brewer

[Jeanfromfillmore]

Well it has taken our states to get to such a degree of desperation to finally address the issues of illegal immigration. Texas, even with its oil will probably be the next, and Texas only spends half on education as we do here in California. The next few months are going to be very telling.

This problem did not happen overnight.
· Five years of spending nearly doubled state government.
· The economic recession has reduced state revenues by almost 40 percent in just 3 years.
· Population growth in school children, university students, health care and welfare populations and inmates in our state prisons has fundamentally ruled out simplistic solutions like rolling the state budget back to levels from five, six, or more years ago.
· Federal and voter mandates prevent us from touching nearly two-thirds of the state budget.
· And procrastination, denial, and lack of will have allowed these problems to fester.

Notice the reluctance to point the finger at the previous Governor though?

Shouldn't Arizona listen to Nancy Pelosi and Cardinal Roger Mahoney ?

Amnesty NOW and more visas ?????
