The reason for our deficit, and the recall, has very little to do with runaway spending, according to a columnist at Forbes. Spending has gone up about 1% a year since 1990. Arnold won't raise taxes, which is awfully nice of him. But Cruz might try to reverse part of Proposition 13 (the bane of our school system) and ask businesses to pay a relevant property tax — along with some other strange contortions — which will cost him the election.
