Go Jerry, Go!!

Okay, so I missed my holiday wish list for peace on earth and goodwill towards men and women, so here's my top three for Jerry Brown now that he's going to be running the fair Golden State.

One is that I hope and wish he'll restore the economy. We didn't get from near the top of the economic climate to the bottom without a lot of work, so it's going to take a lot of work to get from the bottom to hopefully near the top again.

That man won't be able to do it without taxing people, and by people I mean taxing the rich, which at this point doesn't include me, so for now, that's okay.

Now that that he says he's more centrist and over his Moonbeam days, I hope that he'll do something about our wild and wooly immigration problem. If I were traipsing around a country, causing mayhem and not paying any taxes, I wouldn't expect the consequences to be reduced tuition at the universities for my progeny plus "a free and appropriate public education" for my other ones that haven't come of age yet, which exactly what I would have gotten. If you want to be here at least make an attempt to do it legally.

I hope he'll find a way to teach people who signed those shady mortgage loans to read. And to those who can't do so yet who want to sue the companies that gave them the loans, I hope he will find a way to get those cases thrown out of court. It's too bad that we can't pass a law for being stupid, but that would clog up the legal system even more.

Most of all, I wish him god speed. I broke rank and voted for him. But based on his past record (aside from the Rose Byrd affair and his views of capitol punishment), we are banking on him because for now anyway, he is our man.
