Ah-nuld Schwarzenegger's been in office for about a month since the recall with a budget deficit bigger than an elephant's colon, so naturally it's time to start cutting some programs.

Schwarzenegger Administration Offers List of Budget Cuts

One of Schwarzenegger's aides announced the official batting order of state funded programs that are going to be either cut slightly, cut completely or chopped into little bitty tiny fun size pieces and feed to the aides' goldfish.

Now, in all fairness to Schwarzenegger, there's no way he's going to please everyone in this matter. If he cuts food stamps or welfare programs, he's going to anger lower class voters. If he cuts public education programs, he going to anger middle class voters and certain special interest groups. If he doesn't cut public education programs completely and personally kick the little tykes out in the street with his own foot, he's going to anger the upper class taxpayers.

According to an analysis by the California Budget Project, the list has a total of 38 proposed budget cuts including the elimination of nonmedical therapy for the mentally disabled like music and art programs, which surprised me since Schwarzenegger has been such a strong supporter and figurehead for the Special Olympics. So I guess this means next year, the California Special Olympics will hold a special kickboxing class with Schwarzenegger tied to a chair while he's ganged by a group of autistic kids.

Of course, many Democratic senators said Schwarzenegger's cuts are going too far while State Senator and former Republican recall candidate Tom McClintock said they didn't go far enough saying if he'd been elected, he not only would've cut food stamp and welfare programs completely but would require the recipients to serve everyone breakfast in bed for the next four years.
