Will, who appeared to have one of the more intelligent conservative views during this election season, has reverted to type with his lauding of Wilson’s budget-cutting in California. In making the 1992 budget “get smaller,” Wilson has taken the mistakes of a self-serving, incompetent Legislature, distorted them with his presidential aspirations and “paved the way” to California’s demise.
Wilson’s approach, while relieving the state’s high rollers of any new taxes, will overtax decimated public medical resources, undermine the hope that California’s schools will be able to climb out of the pit they are in and worsen the plight of an ever-increasing underclass.
The result, naturally, will be increased crime, poverty and disease, the inability of California’s youth to compete in the world market, a further abandonment by business and a general trashing of the citizens.
