Guv responds to ballot losses, seeks D.C. aid

[Sequoia]

California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, tin cup out in Washington, said today that Obama administration Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius would not punish California by withholding $8 billion in federal stimulus money for the MediCal program.

Schwarzenegger called the ruling a "great victory," coming a day after a great defeat when voters rejected five ballot measures aimed at narrowing a $21.3 billion budget gap.

He said the message from voters came through "loud and clear," but he also bemoaned the fact that voters want the state to cut spending to fix its budget mess, but then recoil from actually making the cuts.

4. "voters want the state to cut spending..., but then recoil from actually making the cuts"

Actually, there IS a lot of that in California- magical thinking, if you will, the belief that it's possible to have one's cake and eat it, too.
