Except they're /right/. The state Democrats are corrupt and ineffectual, but at least they're not insane like our Republicans, who refuse to even consider ideologically impure things like ``compromise to pass a budget''.

The Repubs have compromised. They only slowed, somewhat, the growth in spending. Do you really think that CA would be better off if spending had grown faster?
If not, then you get to explain how letting the Dems get more of their way would have helped. Be specific. (Surely you're not going to argue that Repubs forced significant new spending or that Repubs forced Dems to spend more money than the revenues.)
