Why does Ahnold hate the Republican Congress and Administration?
The Terminator himself says he's running for California Governor because Gray Davis desn't deserve the job after having turned a $9 Billion surplus into a $35 Billion deficit. If that's really the reason, then he should also be out on the stump for every Democratic candidate for national office, since the House, the Senate, and the White House, Republican bastions all, have taken us, in 2 years, from a $250 Billion surplus (with forecasts of trillions in surplus) to $500-plus Billion in deficits (I know, the news always says $450 Billion - but they're not counting the $50++ Billion that Iraq is costing us). Projected long-term deficits, no longer surpluses, in the multi-trillions.
So much for the Republican's careful stewardship of the economy.
