Caught on camera: The absurdity of Arnoldbucks
Watch the video, download your own Arnoldbucks below, then tell us your ideas
California faces financial "Armageddon," as Arnold Schwarzenegger bluntly
stated a few weeks ago. And yet Arnold and his fellow Republicans rejected compromises by Democrats to rescue our state from a catastrophic budget
crisis, unparalleled in the history of California.
Because of the ridiculous 2/3rds budget rule -- the super-majority required to
pass a budget in the California state legislature -- and Arnold's failure to deliver even one vote from a small cabal of obstructionist Republicans, Californians
will be getting IOUs in the mail instead of financial aid checks or tax refunds,
starting as soon as Thursday, July 2.
Many Californians are so overwhelmed by this paralyzing crisis that they've just tuned it out. As a result, Arnold is not being held accountable for his failure to lead.
That's why we decided to try something a bit unorthodox -- raise awareness by using humor to highlight the absurdity of these IOU's, or what we are calling "Arnoldbucks."
We asked one of our members to see what would happen if he tried to use "Arnoldbucks" as legal tender at a few businesses in the area. You won't
believe what happened. It's all caught on camera -- even a few security cams.

As California's economic crisis worsens, the last thing this state needs are IOUs instead of real economic stimulus.
But unless the public knows to hold Arnold Schwarzenegger accountable for this mess, he will blame Democrats instead of working with them to end the budget crisis.
We created "Arnoldbucks" to raise awareness about Arnold's failure to lead California out of this unprecedented financial crisis.
