Is he serious? Is he calling the bluff of the voters who defeated the propositions, or the Republicans in the Legislature who say NO to new revenue generators?
Schwarzenegger's cuts are Draconian to say the least....and the scariest part is he's right when he says the money just isn't there!
Still....it appears Seniors will be put on the chopping block in larger numbers than other groups. Especially low-income adults over 65.
In the latest round of proposed cuts, Schwarzenegger called for the elimination of Adult Day Care Programs. According to the Sacramento Bee: (Governor says $2.8 billion more is needed)

Schwarzenegger proposed closing Adult Day Health Care, which provides daytime therapy to low-income individuals who do not live in nursing facilities."I'm not shocked, but I think it's a very myopic approach," said Jim MacDonald III, a physical therapist who owns the Robertson Adult Day Health Care Center in east Sacramento. He suggested many of his 120 clients would end up in nursing homes at an even higher cost to the state.
So...is he bluffing? I'm sure there will be push-back on some of the cuts, but I'm not sure there will be enough lobbying for the Seniors in California.
Let's get started!
