Electing a movie star with no electoral or governmental experience . . .

as governor of the nation's largest state, and simultaneously recalling an experienced governor who balanced the budget by covering spending with taxes.

"Its budget gap growing and its political process for addressing the gap unhinged, California will begin Thursday to pay vendors and taxpayers with i.o.u.'s . . .
