SACRAMENTO, Calif. (Reuters) - Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, saying he had "strong resolve" to cure California's fiscal woes, on Tuesday proposed a record bond issue of up to $15 billion to fund the state's ballooning budget deficit.
To set an example of new austerity, the multimillionaire actor said he would forgo a salary in his new job as governor of the nation's richest state and would impose a freeze on hiring, travel and upgrading expenses.
So whey is it that when the "Governator" decides to forego his salary to cut costs for his state he is looked at as a hero. But when my father decided to forego his meal at my wedding he was looked at as a cheapskate? Hmmm.
