well, I did not read the article as I refuse to register for the NY times(I dont know why I refuse, I just do) ... But as far as where it's going...Just off the top of my head
1. Patriot Act(should be called unpatriot act): There is lots and lots of things that have absolutly nothign to do with protecting this country that are put into this bill
2. huge tax breaks for everyone...yes, I got a $300 check last year from uncle sam....and im sure alot of people didnt mind getting some money from uncle sam, but frankly, th goverment was buying me and everyone else off, so they can give AT&T and EXON huge tax breaks. They knew if they gave a little to the public, no one would complain as much if they gave alot to the big companies

there are much more im sure

SACRAMENTO -- With Gov. Gray Davis leading a growing consensus that California taxes are likely to increase next year, legislators and others are contemplating an array of possible hikes, including increases in income and sales taxes, as well as taxes on movie tickets and increased fees for passengers landing at California airports.

A day after Davis projected the state's budget deficit at $34.8 billion, a major Wall Street firm lowered the state's credit rating Thursday to "A" from "A-plus," a level not seen since the recession a decade ago.

"The low-hanging fruit has been lopped off and now serious cuts or revenue increases will have to be considered," David Hitchcock of Standard & Poor's said, suggesting that a "fundamental rethinking" of the state budget is needed. "The state can't print money so there will have to be some kind of long-term balance."

Davis and his aides continue working on the budget. But based on interviews and past proposals, a few tax increases are most likely:

? Car tax. Davis proposed raising it earlier this year and almost certainly will again. Although Republicans managed to deflect a car tax increase earlier, Democrats believe they can legally open the way to raise the car tax on a simple majority vote, rather than the two-thirds need for most tax increases. That makes this increase most likely. The Legislative Analyst's Office has estimated that raising the tax would bring in $3.9 billion next year.

? Income taxes. Some lawmakers and lobbyists are talking about imposing at least some income taxes on people at the lower and middle-income levels. As it is, Californians earning less than $60,000 pay little or no income taxes. More likely, Democrats who control Sacramento would embrace imposing higher taxes on people earning $150,000 or more. While Republicans could block this increase in the Legislature, proponents could place it on a statewide ballot and let voters decide. By imposing higher income taxes on wealthy Californians, the state could raise $2.5 billion, the nonpartisan legislative analyst estimates.

? Sales taxes. Raising the sales tax by a half percentage point would generate about $2.5 billion annually, the legislative analyst has said. Some Republicans have been less opposed to sales tax increases than in the past. But if they remain solid in their opposition to all tax increases, backers could place a sales tax increase before voters.

Some lawmakers have suggested lowering the sales tax rate and extending it to some services. Taxing amusement and recreation services, such as tickets to movies, sporting events and such things as health club memberships, would raise $475 million, the legislative analyst says.

? Tobacco. Davis proposed raising the tax by 50 cents a pack in May, a step that cost smokers $475 million annually. He likely will seek a larger increase, given the size of the budget gap. Assembly Democrats embraced a $3 per pack increase earlier this year, but the idea died amid Republican opposition.

Under California's method of financing public schools, more than half of any general tax increase up to $5 billion would go to schools, according to the legislative analyst's office. To get around that, the Legislature could suspend the law governing school financing-- unlikely, given the influence of the public school lobby. It also could forgo general tax increases and instead raise "fees" aimed at paying for specific state costs.

Several lobbyists have suggested a variety of fee and tax increases. Pat Leary, lobbyist for the California State Association of Counties, noted that enforcing sales tax laws already on the books on Internet sales could add $200 million and perhaps as much as $1 billion to state coffers.

The association of counties also is proposing a tax on lottery winnings. Under this idea, lottery players could pay an extra dime as "insurance" against having to pay taxes on any winnings they might attain. Any lottery "tax" likely would require voter approval.

Standard & Poor's decision to lower the rating on California's voter-approved general-obligation bonds will add to the state's cost of borrowing money-- and California will be borrowing heavily as officials work their way out of the budget quagmire. With the downgrade, California is tied with Louisiana as the states with the lowest credit rating, said S&P's Hitchcock

I love how the liberals get all upset as if the world turns in terms of months, not years.

I suppose you credit the clinton admin. to our roaring economy, when in fact it was clinton simply reaping the benefits planted by the reagan administration
