California Treasurer Bill Lockyer (D) took to the floor at an informational hearing on state government reform last fall and scolded fellow Democrats saying the junk spending needs to stop. He said:
I'm sorry but 2/3's of the the bills that i see come out of the Assembly, if they never saw the light of day, God Bless It. Just stop it. Just stop! Just stop it. I mean they're junk, and they're consuming all your staff time, with junk. It's not a rule, it's cultural. Nancy Reagan is right. Just say no!
It’s impossible for this legislature to reform the pension system, and if we don’t, we bankrupt the state. And I don’t think anybody can do it here, because of who elected you. … You’re just captive of the current environment — I don’t see any way out! By the way, Democrats have to call other Democrats on this problem.
He finished by stating culturally and occupationally Republicans know more about efficiency than Democrats, and that they could learn a thing or two from them.
It should also be noted the video is now just gaining attention due to California's continued fiscal emergency. The state is currently trying to address a $25.4 billion budget hole by kicking off a $14 billion debt sale.
